I was told a village of my Peace Corps site in Guatemala needed an actual school in 1982. At my urging, they constructed an actual building. Locals feared petitioning the dictator’s government. As a US citizen working with 3 different international agencies, I knew I had little to fear.

The Nebraska Bridge on Tionesta Creek. The bridge is closed when the dam at Tionesta, Pa. (Built in 40s) floods the bridge. I am here with my 2 older brothers in 1955.

This is Silvia and Victor with their grandchildren in 2004, shortly before Victor died. My training group of 8 had dwindled to just me during active political unrest, so Victor was my best friend.

This is me with my “family” in Guatemala as I trained for the Peace Corps in 1981. Victor and Silvia are gone, but I am friends with some of the, then children on other social media.
