Fitial recognizes McPhetres
Friday, April 22, 2005
House Speaker Benigno R. Fitial yesterday joined his colleagues in conferring a plaque of recognition and appreciation to historian Sam McPhetres, a senior instructor at the Northern Marianas College.
The plaque presented to McPhetres acknowledges the teacher's significant contributions in the field of education, including the publication of history textbooks and scholarly articles, as well as the collection and preservation of many NMI documents of historical value.
In the House resolution he sponsored, Fitial noted McPhetres' community contributions as a teacher, author, Peace Corps volunteer, archivist, Trust Territory program developer, and historian.
"Sam has closely observed and documented important political and historical developments in the NMI for the past 30 years," said Fitial.
"He is very knowledgeable and deserves special recognition for the positive influence he has had on many NMC students," the Speaker added.
In receiving the recognition, McPhetres accepted the House resolution on behalf of his students at the Northern Marianas College.

| RPCVs and Friends remember Pope John Paul II Tony Hall found the pope to be courageous and capable of forgiving the man who shot him in 1981, Mark Gearan said the pope was as dynamic in person as he appears on television, Maria Shriver said he was a beacon of virtue, strength and goodness, and an RPCV who met the pope while serving in the Solomon Islands said he possessed the holiness of a man filled with a deep love and concern for humanity. Leave your thoughts here. |
| Friends of the Peace Corps 170,000 strong 170,000 is a very special number for the RPCV community - it's the number of Volunteers who have served in the Peace Corps since 1961. It's also a number that is very special to us because March is the first month since our founding in January, 2001 that our readership has exceeded 170,000. And while we know that not everyone who comes to this site is an RPCV, they are all "Friends of the Peace Corps." Thanks everybody for making PCOL your source of news for the Returned Volunteer community. |
