Looking for:
Charles Foster - Sousa, PB - 1966
Estive, semana
passada, no bairro Catirina, onde, em 1966, o voluntário Charles
Foster esteve. Com lhe falei anteriormente, ele dá um
depoimento ao documentário "País de São Saruê", de
Vladimir Carvalho, produzido em 1971.
Fui, com o
próprio cineasta ao bairro. Lá, fomos informados de que Charles
Foster, chamado lá por eles de Carlos, havia morrido na guerra do
Vietnam. Soubemos que uma companheira que trabalhava com ele,
chamada Suzana - infiro que o nome tenha sido aportuguesado e que a
forma original do nome dela seja "Suzan", comunicou, por carta, a
uma moradora do bairro o ocorrido.
Se vocês puderem,
de alguma maneira, me dar alguma informação a respeito sobre o
voluntário, agradeceria imensamente.
Na cidade de Sousa,
interior da Paraíba, em 1966. Mais precisamente em um bairro chamado
Catirina. Nas filmagens Charles Foster recebe a visita de um
amigo, chamado apenas de John, originário da Califórnia.
Fotogramas captados
do documentário com imagens de Charles.
Abraço,

Peace Corps and Brazil was truly a life-changing experience. I have not been back--other life-changing decisions have taken me to Asia. But I would still love to go back someday. |

A wonderful experience with a wonderful group of young people. Left Brazil for medical reasons, went to law school at the University of Michigan where I met my wife, Susan. We have two grown sons. I retired after thirty years of practice. Susan works for Dow Chemical's Washington, DC office and I keep house. Went back to see what we had done after ten years had passed. Had a cold beer and watched a World Cup game on a color TV at one of the farms we had electrified. The farmer still did not have indoor plumbing but pumped water up to his house. Ja pensou?. |

I am currently living in downtown New York, but still working as an individual and group therapist on Long Island. My husband and I moved into the city after raising our children on Long Island. I just love it. If anyone is in the area and want to get in touch, you have my email. I actually am in touch with several others from my program. We have been having fun together for all these years. |

Comments:
Out of 64 trainees in our group, I was rated 63 or 64th. The
tra iners would say "Roberto ruin Ricardo pior ou contrario ninguem
sabe".Agora eu fala mais portugese en casa do que ingles.rsrsrsrs
Trabalhava cum Roberto Krasnow que mora hoji en Jardine, RN (na
fronteira cum Paraiba). Tried to settle in Brasil but got kicked out because
I never bothered to get that ID card we were supposed to carry. Traveled for
9 months circling South America twice before I finally got the courage to
return home. Abracoes todo mundo Ricardo Americano
