Tim and Nancy Dial Photos from Peace Corps  (T-8)

We were trained at Princeton and Robert College in Istanbul. (Summer of 1965).  We were first in Silifke, on the Mediterranean coast and then in Ankara.  During the summer of 1966 we were with a children's camp in Istanbul.

Kapıcı Mehmet Kılıç with wife and child, summer 1966

These photos are from the summer camp in Istanbul (summer of 1966).  This is Mehmet Kılıç with wife and child.  He was the kapıcı at the dorm where we stayed I believe that it was is Kadıköy, a ferryboat ride from Istanbul to the other side of the Bosporus.


Campers, summer camp Istanbul, 1966



The summer camp of 1966 was girls and boys.  The food pictured above was our lunch everyday. Remember the Turkish bread of those days?  It was great for a day and then it got hard as a brick.  I loved the salami and white cheese. 

 The boys and girls having a foot race. 

My wife, Nancy, is standing behind one of the little girls in the center of one of the photos.
