Catalina Temple de Martínez, a Peace Corps instructor, and Anica Rodríguez, a Peace Corps volunteer, drowned in the Quiscamote River near La Union, Olancho last Thursday night (Oct. 17). According to the daily La Tribuna, the two women were trying to cross the river, which had risen after heavy rains, when they were swept downstream by a strong current. Authorities were notified soon after the accident by a local resident, but due to bad weather and darkness, were unable to locate the bodies until the following morning. Temple de Martínez, 30, was the wife of Honduran Tourism Institute director Ricardo Martínez. Rodríguez, a native of Puerto Rico, was training to become a Peace Corps volunteer in Honduras.

I worked with Peace Corps in Honduras in 1990 and in 1991 as a logistic coordinator and met Catalina Temple de Martínez when she was still a PC volunteer. I don't remember her last name as single but she came to visit other volunteers in Santa Barbara, Honduras and I met her there. I heard the bad news while living here in the U.S. .She was a great person and we used to talk a lot.
