His whole intent with the "In, Up, and Out" memo was to create a Peace Corps system where there would always be agency positions opening up so that RPCVs, newly arriving from their field service, could be employed and bring their experience to the Peace Corps agency. In fifty years, he never faltered in his belief that the "transcultural experience of the Peace Corps Volunteer" was an essential qualification for being employed within the unique Peace Corps agency. In was so generous with his time and his work. He will be so missed. Dr. Textor cared so much for the RPCV community, too.
