Any thoughts you have now looking back on peace corps days?:

Can't say that I made much difference by being there. Certainly didn't
cause any problem. It was a good idea and perhaps did affect things
locally. I'd do it again I suppose though at age 60 I'm not as adaptible as I
was back then. I certainly would recommend that anyone interested in
going be provided the chance to train and go.

Looking for Phil and Nancy Jones - divorced so Nancy's name may have
changed. Also looking for George and Liz Hart - same situation.

Bring us up to date on your life after the peace corps:

First of all, if not for the US Peace Corps I would never had the opportunity
to enroll at Bates College(Maine). My work with the Peace Corps provided
me enough funds to pay for my undergraduate education as well as a
great help so that I could go to graduate school. I went on to receive a
MAT degree from the School for International Training and later one a Ph.D
in Administration of Higher Education from Michigan State Univerty. While
conducting international programs of education for The Experiment (today
WorldLearning) I was offered a job as a Professor at the Federal University
of Paraiba, where I continued to working with international programs of
education. My 3 children were born here (Jennifer, born in
Brattleboro,Vermont in l979; Jonathan, born in East Lansing, Michigan, in
1984; and Jeffrey also born in East Lansing, in 1987).

Any thoughts you have now looking back on peace corps days?:

I always enjoyed interacting with my students and I still believe the work
the volunteers aimed at was a sublime one, a caring one, a needed one. A
job which would benefit both parties, not only the volunteer but also the
local people in the community. The Peace Corps was/is a venture - a
needed one, I might add. It provides opportunity for learning and growth.
My work with the US Peace Corps added a lot to my life and my life would
not have as fulfilling had I not worked with the Peace Corps in so many
capacities.

Anyone you are looking for or would like to hear from?:

Any one who still remember me from those wonderful years. Especially,
Michael Albert Viola who served in Iuna,Espirito Santo in early 60's. Also,
Darline Ryther Braz who served in Espirito Santo 64-66.
There were 2 female RPCVS working at the Institute for International
Education/New York These two persons helped me a great deal early in
January 1968 when by coincidence I met them at IIE. Another coincidence,
they knew Michael Albert
