I would like to hear from all of you in our 64-66 invasion of Mato
Grosso - I've had a lot of good times but that was the best - you?
I finally made it back to Brazil last year - spent over a week in Santo
Antonio and Cuiabá- what a great time! (pictures are on my homepage
w/out narrative - I'll be fixing that soon). I'm about to retire on the
Oregon coast - would really like to hear from any of you. Hey Dave
(Gill), when are you coming back to Oregon? (Jan 04)
I'm a librarian and award-winning artist and have been married to
Charles (Chuck) for 22 years. We live in a suburban house with our 2
cats, Bess and Harry. For 3 years in the
'90's I chaired the Planning Commission for West Conshohocken, PA.
I am grateful for having known and served with you BR15 Volunteers, for
our trainers in Tempe, and for all of the kindness that the people of
Pocone showed me.

Overall, Peace Corps was very rewarding and a great enhancement to my
on-going liberal arts education. Training at ASU was very beneficial, as
was supervision by ASU staff in Brazil.
Returned to Pocone in 1986 for a visit, and located several local
co-workers.
Got a library degree (MLS) in 1974 and have worked as a public library
administrator in Illinois, Wisconsin, Texas, Washington and California.
Currently semi-retired, working off and on as a interim library
administrator.
I can still speak Portuguese, but I frequently mix in Spanish and
Italian.
Most of us went to the state of Mato Grosso. I also spent time in Rio de
Janeiro (state of Guanabara and then spent almost a year in a small town
in the state of Rio called Papucaia.
I served in Poxoreo Mato Grosso. My wife Julita and son Davis are both
natives of Poxoreo. I return to Brasil yearly. I would enjoy hearing
from others who served in my group.
