The Arkadaslar newsletter Buralarda would like to publish short write-ups about former Turkey PCVs  who, in one way or another, have made ties to Turkey a part of their jobs or careers or professional pursuits.  This would include academic research and publications, working with Turkish clients, working with clients that have operations or investments in Turkey, business travel to Turkey, newspaper or broadcast journalism interest in Turkey, or any other kind of
connection.  Please summarize your experience in a paragraph or two and send it along to Sandy Pfunder or to Buralarda editor Marcia Gnuse. 

Memories of Turkey: 
This note from Sandy Pfunder is a more recent event but relates back to our service in Turkey:

This past Tuesday night, our Turkish language class had its last "ders" of the "winter semester". As is traditional, we meet at a Turkish restaurant for the last class, and this time we gathered at  Atilla's Restaurant in Arlington, Virginia. A young woman who was waiting on our table told us that she was college student in Northern Virginia and was originally from Edirne. We mentioned that a couple of us (Linda Scheffer and I) had been Peace Corps volunteers in Turkey. The next words out of her mouth were: "Do you know Bob and Sylva Staab?" Of course, we said that we did. "My grandfather married them," she said, referring (we judged) to the famous village wedding that occurred some 43 years ago in a village near Edirne.
