Rich and I were Peace Corps volunteers in Lawas, Sarawak, Malasia in 1967-1968. We had a wonderful time at the Lawas School where we taught school to the first class of Lun Bawang students from the interior of Borneo as well as Malays and Chinese students. We were also on the local basketball team and won games against teams from much larger towns. He was a great guy.
