Comments:

I would love to hear from others from this group. We trained with School Lunch people and Electrical Engineers.

I served with my husband, John Pugh, he died in 1983 from a brain tumor. I have not been back to Brasil, but if anyone is interested in going back as a group, please contact me, I'm a travel agent now.

Anyone still speaking Portuguese? I'm trying to learn Spanish, but I can't shake the Portuguese!

I also worked for the Ship HOPE in Natal, RGN in 1972, then returned to PC working as a programmer. I married another PCV, Chris Greene, while in Brazil. We have two adult daughters, Sam (27) and Kate (24). I worked for ACTION/PC In DC for a brief time after returning to the US. For the past 22 years I've been a teacher in Tampa.

For quite some time I've been thinking about renewing contact with a number of former PCVs from Brazil. Thanks for taking the initiative in establishing this web site. I'm looking forward to staying in touch from here on out.
