James E. Day

At various points during my time teaching with Peace Corps Bulgaria, when I had a long weekend, or some time away from a summer project, I'd often travel from my site in Trojan, over the "Mila Rhodeno," and down to the southern Balkan plains where Plovdiv sat - to visit Jim Day. He was always happy to have guests and treated us liberally and generously, not just with his apartment but with his time and attention. I NEVER won a game of Scrabble against him. I don't think anyone ever did. He...

We met Jim on a vacation to Plovdiv, Bulgaria, where he was our "birding buddy" for a day. We found him again in Green Valley, Arizona, and spent another wonderful day birdwatching with him. He was an expert birder as well as a wonderful person, and we are so sad to learn of his passing.

Thanks to Jim for his service to the Peace Corps Ken Fliés President Peace Corps Legacy Assn C:952-334-4092 [email protected] www.peacecorpslegacy.org
