Brenda Koerner, with whom I survived nine weeks of Peace Corps
training in Siumu i Sasa'e. (Someone else took this picture and
I copied it... hope they don't mind.)

The lovely Laura Brown, now Laura Laumatia, living in Pago Pago,
American Samoa. This picture was taken out behind the Peace Corps
lounge in Apia, W. Samoa.

Dashing young Australian medical student Andrew Steer attempts to
climb a coconut palm on Nu'utele Island. James Atherton thinks he's
crazy.

Janet, Aloi, and Deb Short in the gorgeous village of Samamea,
W. Samoa, where Deb and I (and Paula and Burrwood) spent a blissful
week in June '97.

Me and my mom at Piula (Upolu, Western
Samoa) during Mom's
visit in December 1997. The pool in the foreground is cold, clear freshwater
and leads into a cave full of nifty fish. The water in the background
is the warm, salty Pacific Ocean. Piula is quite possibly the nicest
swimming spot in the world...
