After graduation, I went to Cameroon, West Africa, from June '71 until September'74, teaching English as a Foreign Language, and setting up a provincial English Teacher Inspection Program. I had the distinct honor of working with anothewr Denison Grad, Louise Davis '72, in Ebolowa, Caeroon for one year. The far-reaching effects of this inspection program was to enhance the abilities of the indigenous English teachers, and funnel them into the Inspectors Program. The goal of every Peace Corps program is to obsolete itself and pass the baton to native counterparts. This we successfully accomoplished in Cameroon five years after my return when there ceased being a need for future TEFL Volunteers.
