Looking for Peter Bridgeman from 1967 in IRI City

Hello. I would like to find the person who had lived with my family during my childhood. His name is Peter Bridgeman. He came to Iri city, South Korea in 1967 as a status of peace corps form USA, and had lived for 2 years with my family. His wife was Peggy Bridgeman. They were 25 years old,both at that time(62 year-old at present), and taught English at middle school. Unfortunately they divorced after they went to United States. I have tried to find them for so many years, but failed. So I am asking a great favor of you to find them. I am sure they remember our family. My family is Kim's family, and my father's name is Kim, Kwangjoon. He might be a medical doctor, because he studied medical science after he went to USA. I am working at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. I really miss them. Thank you so much, and I appreciate. I look forward to receiving your reply ASAP.

Sinncerely yours,

Jaeyoung Kim, MD
