Yolanda will not be here – Actually she’s already gone – for the Birthday brunch at the Rosenfield’s. She left on Wednesday morning. A going-away party was held for her on Tuesday afternoon.
I went down after school. I caught a transport around 2:00 o’clock. I brought lime squash and popcorn with me. I was one of the few people who actually made what I brought.
Yolanda looked ready to cry. By the time she left she was crying.
I don’t feel like she’s gone yet. I suppose I’ll notice as I take trips to Roseau. Catherine said she and Yolanda did their crying in the days before her departure.
After the party I typed and photocopied a test for my second form class. I didn’t arrive back to school in time to give it. I arrived seventeen minutes after third period. That wasn’t enough time to give it. They studied for a test in another subject. I moved my test to Friday.

The New York Times article featured this blurb about Grenada: Overview Grenada is continuing its drive to develop natural and historical attractions. At the Levera National Park and Bird Sanctuary, for example, better roads, a visitors’ center and bird watching lookouts are planned.

Yesterday was Maryann’s birthday. She is my Associate Peace Corps Director in charge of Dominican volunteers. Her boss is Country Director of the East Caribbean Dick Pyle whose office is on St. Lucia.
Last year Brad and I were going to hold a party for her but it fell through because of the effects of the typhoid shots for EC56ers. We finally celebrated her birthday at “our” New Year’s Eve party.
She is currently out of the country on vacation in the US. I hope she is relaxing from her usual workaholic pace. Since she left one of the new EC57 volunteers left.
I put a birthday card in her mail box before she left, and it seems that she got it before she left since it was gone the next morning. Yolanda was thinking up an idea for a party when she returns. I hope Yolanda will still be here for that.
She quit her job because of problems with her colleague. She hopes to get reassigned to another assignment here or to one in Grenada. I hope she finishes her third PC service.
