Mini-Reunions

There have been several get togethers of India 20A group members over the last several years.  Many of us travel a great deal and when we are in a city where other members of the group are located we always arrange to meet (ok- so I am in a lot of the pictures, at least I brought my camera, RAS).

Richard, Diane, and Sue hold a Skype video phone call with India 20A RPCV Marilyn Kuschel who now lives in Germany.   What a contrast to our days in India during 1965 to 1967. Our methods of distance communication were the "inland letter" and the telegram.  (Rochester, N.Y. April 24, 2009)
