This year we look forward to learning about another group of equally timeless projects. \n \nPlease send up to four digital images from your Peace Corps days to Maggie Keenan (maggie@pacinfo.com). Maggie will queue up these images and give contributing members the opportunity to share a few words about their photos and their Peace Corps experience. \n \nLast year we learned about the Thompsons' camping out at Machu Picchu, Dorothy's encounter with a crocodile, and that a photo of James Dean was in fact James Cloutier. Surely more revelations await us! \n \nPlease bring a dish to share! \n \nWe'll gather at the West Eugene home of WCPCA member, Joyce Leader, 3310 Park Hills Drive in west Eugene.
