Feb. 8 Dart left this morning for Singapore and Hong Kong. I will go to Kuching, Sarawak, and Manila via Hong Kong during the remaining days of the trip. Visited the Peace Corps people today - Mr. Butler, the Director, his Assoc. Rep., Mr. Thomas A. Sullivan and two secondary school teachers; David Sterling from Birmingham, N.Y. and Arnold Deutschman, N.Y. Butler is a talk-balling man in his early 30's, a former Republican lawyer from San Francisco. Sullivan is a raven-haired, blackhaired, thin man in his 30's, from Kansas. He has been here only 1 mo. Deutschman, a young physics teacher, had been here 8 mos. and Sterling, a biology teacher had only been actually teaching for 2 weeks. Deutschman was the most helpful to me.
