When are you going to update "Peace Corps Crossroads?"
Answer: We are not the creators of Peace Corps Crossroads. Peace Corps Crossroads was created by the late Jonathon Muehl.
Jonathon Muehl was one of Peace Corps' earliest adapters of the internet and in 1996 created a web site dedicated to Togo called the "Friends of Togo FuFu Bar." This site expanded and eventually became Peace Corps Crossroads.
Jonathon died in June, 2000 after battling leukemia for 5 years. His last update to Peace Corps Crossroads was on May 14th, 2000.
His site remained up and running for several years after his death but when his ISP went out of business in 2002, the site disappeared for several months. Rather than let this resource disappear from the net, we contacted Jonathon's family and with their permission, rehosted Peace Corps Crossroads to this ISP.
Some people have written us and told us that the Peace Corps Crossroads is out of date and that we should "update" Jonathon's site and add new Peace Corps web sites that have come online since Jonathon's death.
We don't agree.
Much of what made Peace Corps Crossroads unique was Jonathon's style of writing and his point of view and it would be both impossible and, we believe, inappropriate for someone else to attempt to imitate him. Therefore we made the decision to leave "Peace Corps Crossroads" as it was when Jonathon died as a permanent memorial to one of the pioneers of Peace Corps web sites. We have used the "Internet Archive" to show the links as they appeared at the time of his death.
Peace Corps Web Pioneer, Jonathon Muehl
