Peace Corp Volunteer, India 41

21 Dec 2005
Bill and I were good friends in Maharashtra, India. He and I were then members of India 41, a Peace Corps group that was introducing new agricultural methods to the farmers in our area. He resigned early so that he could return to his love. I later found out he had been killed in Viet Nam. Such a shame. His laugh still makes me smile. He was so caring about others. I wish I could communicate to his parents just how wonderful a friend and person he was. Perhaps this entry will do that. 

From a Peace Corps buddy,
George Jeffcott
