Dear Donna and Ray:
Attached please find a letter from Dylan ____, the PCV who was assigned to Ndanda Secondary School last November. The letter was hand carried as is by someone traveling from the Deep South. I do hope you, Kyle, Daniel, and the rest of the family will take some solace in reading this letter, which attests once again to Joe's spectacular service and the long-lasting impact he had on his community.
I wanted also to report to you that I traveled to Mbinga recently and visited all the PCV sites that Joe had visited in the days before his accident. I thanked again the officials who had assisted so selflessly on that tragic afternoon and the days that followed and was very touched by the many people who had small anecdotes to tell about the PCV from the Deep South - Mr. Joe- who had visited them. A nun, the headmistress of a prestigious girl's school, shared her memories of Joe who entertained them all with his dancing and laughing with the girls after their graduation ceremony which had taken place the day he visited there. I love that image and wanted to pass it on to you.
We all hold Joe dear in our hearts and keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
Cordially,
Country Director - Peace Corps
Tanzania
