Roger Brown was a Vietnam War-era Peace Corps volunteer, who preferred volunteer service because he was opposed to the war. He trained at the University of Arizona in Tucson, which included a family stay in South Tucson and a three week home-stay in Mexico. The language training was intense. Brown lived in La Concepcion, a small town outside of Maracaibo, Venezuela. After an uncertain first year, he became a traveling auditor for cooperatives, working closely with his Venezuelan counterpart. Interviewed and recorded by Robert Klein, September 24, 2002. 2 tapes (web streaming files combined into 1 file).
