FORTY-TWO YEARS AGO

Forty-two years this month and I am still reminescing my Peace Corps experience! However, my PC roommate and I were able to visit in 2000 for three weeks to refresh our language as well as some of our memories--the better ones, of course! It too was an amazing experience! As the volunteer coordinator of my group, Bra IV, I am in contact with "the group" two or three times a year. We had a reunion on my farm in Southern Illinois in 1996 and 13 of the surviving 19 were able to attend, as well as a phone call from one, and a letter from our Director. At the reunion many felt as if we had not been separated for many years. It was truly an amazing experience. And, naturally, not one of us appeared a day older! Brasil is no longer part of the PC program. However, I would enjoy hearing from any other "old timers" out there, or anyone with a genuine interest in PC, Alaska, fiber arts, etc.
