Comments: I've been teaching in Montebello, a suburb of L.A. for over 30 years. Met and married another rpcv 35 years ago. David was in Colombia 7. We met in L.A. We have 2 grown children, both musicians. We go out to dinner about once a month with other rpcv's. We hit a different ethnic restaurant every month. It's fun. Still haven't found a 'good' Brasilian one yet... Have yet to run into anyone who served in Brasil. I know you're out there! Write to me!
I see some names that look familiar, but no one from Guanabara Health/CD seems to be a member. I'm looking forward to connecting with some of the veterans of PC Brazil.
Comments: Stumbled on this website and figured that O Estado do Rio needed to be represented. I returned to Brazil in 1989 and am going again in September 2007.

I recently spent a little over 2 years as an Admin Officer for the Peace Corps in Cape Verde -in large part because I speak Portuguese and because I was a volunteer, plus my 25 years as a General Contractor and construction business owner. Now I'm in the Foreign Service on my first tour in Athens, Greece. My wife, Marli, is from Marica, RJ. And my 3 kids have all spent a lot of time in Brazil - 2 for a year each at PUC-Rio. It doesn't get out of your blood....
Have had wonderful reunions with fellow PCV friends from Brazil. Has brought back great memories and fun times with old friends. I am at Claire and Lud Pisapia's house this minute adding my name to this web page. My son is now in Peace Corps in Nicaragua and my husband, Jeff Lawrence (also a former PCV from Brazil) and I are going to visit Joran Dec. 26. Tchau
