History Repeats Itself

From Joy Gallagher comes this note: Greetings Friends of Kenya! Just a note to let you all know that my son, Rashid Khan, is currently going through the Peace Corps application process. He has made it all the way to the medical/dental part and has his fingers crossed that he will receive an invitation soon.

It was thirty years ago that I was doing exactly the same thing. Filling out the forms, waiting, more forms, more waiting. It was all well worth the wait. My Peace Corps experience (Kenya 77-79) was one of the best two years of my life. I feel very fortunate to have served in such a culturally rich country.

I'm looking for the rest of my group...anyone know where they are?

All the best,

Joy Gallagher

It has only been been two decades since I returned from Kenya and yes, like you Sandy, I count those two years as "2 of my best". I have not sired any offspring, but I have influenced a cousin to sign up for PC and she was just notified she will be teaching grade school children in South Africa. She  [Nancy] just retired as a University professor of English Lit. Nancy is 65 plus and excited! The link goes on!    Bruce Stowe
