There will be gratitude that we are here in Salt Lake, but also sadness and nostalgia for a simpler way of life. It was in October of 1970 that our family (Scott was 15: Kevin 13; and Jamne. 11) decided to leave our Los Angeles home and join the Peace Corps. The Peace Corps was recruiting more highly skilled volunteers to meet the needs of increasingly sophisticated countries. Harold was invited to join the M.B.A. program m Colombia. South America and so our family became the SOth family in the United States to join the Peace Corps as volunteers. Our first Christmas was spent in a training center in the hills above Escondido.

Christmas required careful planning. As Peace Corps volunteers our resources were limited. (Even so. we had much more than the average family in Bucaramanga.) We were given a Christmas tree (dug up roots and all) by a Colombian friend who had lived in New York. Our apartment looked quite festive. But as Christmas drew nearer, our plans suddenly seemed unimportant. The loss of lights and water became more frequent and finally, one of the many earthquakes which shake the Andes, broke the-- pipe carrying water from the reservoir. With just three weeks before Christmas, all water stopped nowing into the city. Everywhere people line up at the few houses which had wells, to borrow or buy water. Every drop was carefully used.
