How wonderful it is to see this list of books by RPCVs.
This is worlds (our worlds) seen by our heart-contemporaries.
Were they only written for us the other Peace Corps volunteers and staffs (who have also written) over the years, that would be another monument the way ELLIS ISLAND is a place in our history. We have come through.
Thanks John…awesome!
John and Marian, please return my call or answer my emails regarding a legal issue regarding this. Thanks. Susanne
