To Buck's family members who are monitoring his site, please accept my sympathy and warm wishes of condolence for Buck's death. Since meeting him in Madison, Wisc. shortly after he returned from his Peace Corp tour we stayed in touch for many years, well after I returned to Canada where he visited several times.

I am so sorry to hear this news. I was the daughter of the Peace Corps director, Michal Furst, while he was a volunteer there. Buck was a dear friend to me.

Through your gentle wisdom, spirit and strength it continues today. Together we then created the first Williamson Street neighborhood Faire which continues to this day. Your legacy, your spirit lives on. Indeed your spirit continues community of...

Rest In Peace Bucky! Your calendars were magnificent and your service to the Peace Corps over the years was most admirable:>)
