They're leaving for Kazakhstan; please write
To the editor:
Farewell for now. It is with mixed feelings that we say farewell to our friends and neighbors here on Chincoteague Island.
We want to say special thanks to Drs. Glenn Wolffe and Bill Baczek, who helped get us through our medical and dental clearance processes, respectively; to Donna Weaver of Shore Bank and Jerry West, who will keep an eagle eye on our affairs while we are gone; to our neighbors on Richardson Street who will keep an eye on our home, let our various renters know they are welcome, and let our Realtor know when they are not; and to the friends we have made in the few short years we have been coming down here. You know who you are and we will miss you.
We look forward to a great adventure in Kazakhstan, making friends for ourselves and for our country. We are aware that we will probably learn much more than we can ever teach. And we look forward to sharing what we learn about this vast and varied land when we return.
Although we do not really know what awaits us as we move into this new chapter of our lives, we leave knowing there are still places and people in America we can be proud to represent as we begin our Peace Corps assignment.
We hope you will write us with your news while we are gone. For the first three months, you can reach us at:
Peace Corps
P. O. Box 376
480001 Almaty, Kaxakhstan
Thank you.
Woody Starkweather and Janet Givens
