These photos were taken by the Maynards at the 40th wedding anniversary celebration of Janet and Wylie's wedding in Madras, India. Wendy writes: As you can see none of us have changed over the years.oh yeah! Amazing to reconnect after 40 years. It seemed like 40 days. There were almost 200 people at the celebration held at the Palo Alto Art Center, including Al and Janet Margolin, the PC doctors during our term. The party was complete with garlands, Ganesh, Indian music (live), henna-painting and a fantastic Indian buffet. The goat curry was delicious as was the mango lassi. After dinner we were treated to a wonderful performance of Bharata Natyam dance by a local student who explained all the gestures and movements very well. There was also a similar performance at Janet & Wylie's wedding In Madras in 1967. After the party we returned to Janet & Wylie's house. There we reminisced thru Stan's and Janet and Wylie's slides and photos of their experiences in India and the Afghanistan of the late 60s and their training experience at Williams College. I look forward to seeing these photos on the FOI gallery. Wendy (Cutter) Maynard, India 28  Cathy and Mike 16 Nov 2007: Pure Water Initiative Click on photos to enlarge. Dear friends, It has been a long time since we have written an update about our Bio-sand filter project. Since Mike returned from India in June we have been very busy with our accounting work and the water project. See the whole update!

Dear Friends, We are still reveling from two watershed events that have given the water filter program an incredible boost. See the whole update! Cathy and Mike South Asia Pure Water Initiative, Inc. 2832 Whitney Avenue Hamden, CT 06518 www.sapwii.org  Marti and Tom Abts India 106 Click on photos to enlarge. The longest trip we took while in India was from our village in Karnataka to Kashmir in May of 1971. We took a train from Mumbai through New Delhi up to Pathankot. From there it was a two day bus trip up to Srinagar. This was an extraordinary trip for us, and we are so grateful we saw that part of the world while we could. There were some tense moments as it was a volatile region then, though not as much as now. We spent a few days in Srinagar in the government tourist bungalow there, then went on up into the Himalayas to Pahlgam at 10,000 ft above sea level. This small village is the starting point for a pilgrimage route to the Amarnath Cave, where Shiva retired. Again, we housed in a government tourist bungalow and were fed royally with thick hearty biriyanis and nan, yogurt and lots of seasoned rices. We spent about 5 days there, in clear cold clean quiet air. The pictures are a bit grainy but I hope clear enough. Marti  September 2007  Marti and Tom Abts India 106 Click on photos to enlarge. Marti and Tom Abts write: These pictures are from the village of Shirol, Mudhol Taluka, Bijapur District, Mysore (Karnataka) and were taken in 1971. My husband Tom & I were in India 106, a couples program in Horticulture and Nutrition. (We were both English majors in college.)  Marti and Tom Abts India 106 Click on photos to enlarge. Thank you, Jack --- these photos have been sitting in trunks and garages and attics for 30 + years, it is so nice to have them see the light of day this way. A short series of pictures taken in Bableswar, just south of Bijapur, where Russ & Etha Stebbins were stationed. We spent a lot of time with them, playing games of Hearts that lasted for a full day. Coming into the village, we always passed this compound with two elderly people who always greeting us as we passed. One day they asked if I could take their picture with their granddaughter. I started taking the shots ---- the grandfather gave up pretty quickly, the grandmother eventually started laughing & waved us on.  June 2006  Ron Haye`s trip in 2004 - Sita Madri Erosion Control Project Click on the link.  October 2005  Friends of India 20th Reunion October 2005 Wilmington, NC, USA Click on the link.  August 2004  National Peace Corps Association Conference Click on the link.
