Any thoughts you have now looking back on peace corps days?:
That was the beginning of my breaking out of the mold of academia: after another 30 years of working with my hands I feel it's actually possible to have a truly non-academic world-view. Thanks to C.S. Lewis and his life masterpiece, "The Discarded Image" that no anthropologist should be allowed to graduate from college without.

Dave,
I am one of Dick Wingfield's two younger brothers-we also had two sisters. Our parents died in 1957 and we were raised and then adopted by our Aunt and Uncle. The adoption became effective after Dick had left for college so he kept his birth name of Wingfield, while the rest of us took our uncle's last name.
Dick died very young in a car accident in 1974--less than five years after returning from the Peace Corps. He were separated by only 18 months in age, were very close growing up, and shared many experiences. He wrote me many letters while he was in Brazil, which I would love to have the opportunity to discuss those with you.
Cheers,
Larry
