Hello everybody
I’m searching for RPCV in Indonesia 1963-1965 named Dick Kravitz. Is there anyone have his email address? So I can contact him immediately to share about the peace corps experience in Indonesia 1963-1965. Because I saw he comment in first line and then I can’t ask him again.
Please let me know it if you all know it.
Thank you very much

I am glad that you found it helpful. I hope my instructions were not too confusing. It looks like I duplicated one step. Good Luck.

Hi Inu,

A good place to begin is the non-government website: Peace Corps Online. Its URL is: peacecorpsonline.org

There is a box on the top of the home page that says: Search PCOL

Choose that.

On the page which comes up, type “Indonesia” in the Search box.

Choose “Search PCOL”

A list of articles about Peace Corps in Indonesia, including the early 1960s should come up.

Good Luck.

Thank You very much

I just checked the bibliography of Peace Corps authors and I am not on it. I am however one of the four authors listed under the Book Locker. I’m confused.

Hi, Dave…I actually know the book, and I know Karen. I was the first person she interviewed for her book, and her editor was (and is still) a good friend. Karen, when I last spoke to her, was living in the D.C. area. The last time I saw her was at her wedding and wonderful reception at the Rainbow Room in New York.

We have the book listed on our old site, PeaceCorpsWriters & Readers and will have it listed on this site once we move all the books over, via cyberspace.

Oddly enough I was just looking at her book earlier today, checking a fact.

Thanks for alerting us all to the book.
John

There’s one book about the Peace Corps (albeit not written by a RPCV) not on the list above of which I’m aware.

It’s Karen Schwarz’s “What You Can Do For Your Country: an oral history of the Peace Corps.”

It was published by William Morrow & Co., Inc. in 1991.

Amusingly, the first sentence on the front page of the book’s dust cover is “The Peace Corps is shrouded in myth.”

Myth? Humbug!

So how do I get my publishing featured here. I have authored numerous books: nonfiction and poetry and now am writing fiction.
