Patricia R. Scatoloni, whose longtime dream was to join the Peace Corps, died Jan. 1 after a brief illness, while serving in the Peace Corps in Macedonia. She was 74.
A native of Buffalo, the former Patricia Devine graduated from Bennett High School and Buffalo State College. She also earned a master's degree from California State University-Domingues Hills.
For many years, she taught kindergarten and first grade in White Plains schools, Los Angeles Unified School District and Pasadena (Calif.) City Schools.
She joined the Peace Corps last year and was assigned to teach English to Macedonian children.
A niece, Betsy DiVita of Clarence, described her aunt as a "fun- loving, adventure-seeking young 74-year-old."
Although she left Buffalo in the 1950s, Mrs. Scatoloni maintained an active social circle in the Buffalo area and spent summers at Chautauqua Institution and the Lake Erie shore.
Survivors include two sons, Michael of Charlotte, N.C., and Frank Jay of Torrance, Calif.; a daughter, Barbara Forsythe of San Pedro, Calif.; a brother, Hugh J. Devine of Plainsboro, N.J.; and a sister, Joan Walter of Sandusky, Ohio.
A memorial service will be at 2 p.m. Saturday in Church of the Nativity United Church of Christ, 1530 Colvin Blvd., Town of Tonawanda. Another memorial service will be Feb. 5 in Pasadena.

| The Peace Corps Library Peace Corps Online is proud to announce that the Peace Corps Library is now available online. With over 27,000 index entries in 430 categories, this is the largest collection of Peace Corps related stories in the world. From Acting to Zucchini, you can use the Main Index to find hundreds of stories about what RPCVs with your same interests or from your Country of Service are doing today. |
| Bush's FY06 Budget for the Peace Corps The White House is proposing $345 Million for the Peace Corps for FY06 - a $27.7 Million (8.7%) increase that would allow at least two new posts and maintain the existing number of volunteers at approximately 7,700. Bush's 2002 proposal to double the Peace Corps to 14,000 volunteers appears to have been forgotten. The proposed budget still needs to be approved by Congress. |
| RPCVs mobilize support for Countries of Service RPCV Groups mobilize to support their Countries of Service. Over 200 RPCVS have already applied to the Crisis Corps to provide Tsunami Recovery aid, RPCVs have written a letter urging President Bush and Congress to aid Democracy in Ukraine, and RPCVs are writing NBC about a recent episode of the "West Wing" and asking them to get their facts right about Turkey. |
| Ask Not As our country prepares for the inauguration of a President, we remember one of the greatest speeches of the 20th century and how his words inspired us. "And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you--ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man." |
| Latest: RPCVs and Peace Corps provide aid Peace Corps made an appeal last week to all Thailand RPCV's to consider serving again through the Crisis Corps and more than 30 RPCVs have responded so far. RPCVs: Read what an RPCV-led NGO is doing about the crisis an how one RPCV is headed for Sri Lanka to help a nation he grew to love. Question: Is Crisis Corps going to send RPCVs to India, Indonesia and nine other countries that need help? |
| The World's Broken Promise to our Children Former Director Carol Bellamy, now head of Unicef, says that the appalling conditions endured today by half the world's children speak to a broken promise. Too many governments are doing worse than neglecting children -- they are making deliberate, informed choices that hurt children. Read her op-ed and Unicef's report on the State of the World's Children 2005. |
