CURRENT MISSION

Building libraries in Vietnam

ABOUT ME

I am a Vietnam Veteran. I served in Vietnam in 1967.
I have been back to Vietnam in 1992, Save the Cranes in Vietnam Expedition with Earthwatch, 2001, to visit my Rotary daughter Trang Nguyen, the first Vietnamese exchange student in the history of Vietnam-US relations, 2005-06. I am a former member of the Library Project of Vietnam. We have built over 20 libraries in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. Now I belong to LEAF-VN which is an organization that helps in Library Training in Vietnam.

The following is from my official Rotary bio:
