I served as a Peace Corps Volunteer with my wife, Margaret, in San Jose Village, Toledo, Belize from 2002 to 2004. I worked in sustainable agriculture and rural community development programs. My projects included working with Mayan farmer cooperatives, developing a new village health post and working with village water system issues.
The RPCV Oral History Archives project has it's roots in the Madison Peace Corps community past and present. The value of an oral history by the participants in this extraordinary experiment in international relations, United States Peace Corps, that has persisted for almost 60 years will be realized by those who will study this dynamic and turbulent time in our country's history.
