Synopsis

FRAGMENTS of the CORPS is a collection of stories which describe my experiences serving two tours as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Colombia, S.A. from 1964 to 1968. The book was written in 2006 upon my retirement. But, the backstory underneath this memoir is that it is also a romance about a country and its people I grew to admire and love. In crafting the stories in this memoir, I drew freely from my experiences as a storyteller, and feature some of these stories in my storytelling events. The photos (with one exception) are all taken by me during those years, and are printed here in B & W. I have also created a companion book printed in color of those photos and additional ones. The companion book consists of over 76 pages, and is titled: PHOTOS for FRAGMENTS of the CORPS.
