My, how fast time flies!!! I can hardly
believe it is already 31 years!!! Lots has happened since the time I
spent in Liberia. After 1 1/2 years in Liberia, I relocated to ZAIRE
where I worked in a fly-in village, as an agriculture specialist. I
had an awesome experience. I completed the term out and volunteered
for an additional year. Since returning stateside, I recruited for
Peace Corps for several years, out of the New Orleans office. I
moved back to my home city, Miami, Florida where I taught school for over
20 years (teaching high school Marine Biology, Biology and Chemistry).
I am now back in New Orleans, where I am Foreign Missions Director
for my church and a missionary. I married a former Peace Corps
volunteer (PC INDIA) who is now a minister. I have traveled to more
than 50 foreign countries (doing things that Missionaries do!) I am also
finishing up my Doctor of Divinity degree. I find myself more
outside of the U.S. than in. I am enjoying every minute of it!! I
think my time spent in Africa prepared me for what was to come. While in
Liberia, I lived in TCHIEN (Zwedru) where I taught at the Assembly of God
school, up on the hill. Charlie and Jim were there with me in Tchien.
Sad to hear that Charlie passed away. My family adopted a
Liberian girl, Francis, who is now an adult, with a child of her own.
She is doing great. I would love to hear from other members of
the Texas Southern Group. Again...its wonderful to be in touch with those
who were there!!!! Its like finding old family again!
