THE PEACE CORPS

This time of year, more than any other, the spirit of giving abounds. I saw an ad in a magazine I received in today's mail that struck on that chord. It was an ad for the Peace Corps and said " LIFE IS CALLING -- HOW FAR WILL YOU GO?"

I'd almost forgotten about this organization, but quickly recalled a time where almost everyone knew someone who had been in the Peace Corps, and admired them for their experience. Even President Jimmy Carter's mother enlisted in The Corps. I think our society has lost much of it's " Age of Aquarius " vision. But it's good to know that the Peace Corps still lives. One could speculate on the Corps being a new life for some of those retiring Baby-Boomers. One has to speculate on what wonders they could accomplish to change America's tarnished image in the world community. As John Lennon said, "IMAGINE !!"
