Even though our Arkadaslar organization has disbanded, we do want to stay in touch! Some of us get together regularly, others of us meet for lunches to celebrate Turkey’s national day, or Cumhuriyet Bayram. If you and other Turkey RPCVs get together, please send us a photo!
The Washington DC area RPCVs gathered for lunch on Saturday, October 22, 2022 for our most recent celebration of Turkey’s national day.
Sandy Anderson book published! Posthumously!
In the Crosscurrent: A Carolina Mountain Boy Comes of Age During the Civil War
Before she passed away a few years back, Sandy Anderson, who daily did so much to keep us all together as Arkadaslar, was also writing a book. It is set in the mountains of North Carolina during the Civil War. According to a review on the Amazon website, a friend of Sandy’s from her writer’s group brought this previously unfinished historical novel to fruition.
