Are You Looking for an Old Friend From Your Peace Corps Service or For a Former Peace Corps Volunteer?
If you are looking for an old friend from your Peace Corps service or for someone who has served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Malaysia, please contact the webmaster of this site. We will be happy to post all such queries on this page to help you locate old friends.
In addition to adding a posting to this website, here are a few other websites and tips on finding old friends.
| 1. | Peace Corps Online is an on-line community of returned Peace Corps Volunteers. This website is a wonderful resource for finding old friends and posting public messages. Returned volunteers are encouraged to register and add their names to their public directories so that friends can find them. Here are their links
|
| 2. | US
Search is a web service for locating people in the
United States. While this is a commercial service, you can
use their free service to get a listing of all individuals with
a certain name, showing their current city, state, and
age. Use this information along with Yahoo
People Search described below, to help get an email or
mailing address. . |
| 3. | Yahoo
People Search is a free people search service.
Enter a first name and last name, and it will return the
address, and phone number of every person with that name.
This is a fairly intelligent search in that it will
automatically include variations of the first name. For
example, searching for "Tony" will return individuals
named "Anthony" as well as
"Tony". Most names entered will probably
return far more people than what would be useful. With 250
million people in America, truly unique names are few.
However, if you use this service along with the free US
Search which lists the age, there is a good likelihood you
will find the person you are looking for. |
| 4. | Colleges and
universities will not disclose addresses of their alumni,
but many of them will forward inquiries and mail to their
alumni. |
| 5. | Directory of Returned Peace Corps Volunteers and Staff is a fairly comprehensive directory of RPCV's. It is published by Harris Publishing. |

Recently, another former fellow teacher, David Omand, a Canadian volunteer, now a doctor living in Cold Lake, Canada, visited Unni Krishnan, with his wife and three children. They were delighted to meet again, and had a wonderful re-union dinner.
Unni Krishnan, along with many old friends and students in Melaka, would love to meet up with William again. William was an excellent biology teacher and many of his students have become successful medical specialists. They would appreciate any help in locating William, whom they remember so fondly.
If you know how to contact William Dion,
please contact Unni Krishnan either at

His name was Mark Linn (or Lynne, Linh, sp?) and he taught at Kajang High School, Selangor, West Malaysia, from 1966 to 1968 and the student's name -- the friend of mine who is looking for him -- is named Yeoh Hwee Hong and was in Forms III through V during those years.
He is known around here as Yang now and is a famous shushi chef in the area with a large following of devotees. I am a writer and wrote an article about him for the New York Times (Oct. 14, 2001) entitled "The Don Rickles of Sushi" because his is a bit of a comedian on top of being a great chef.
He is afraid that Mark will not remember him but I encouraged him to let me try. I am a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer myself (Kenya, 75-77) and told him not to underestimate the vividness and long shelf life of volunteers' memories and impressions.
If you can be of any help in tracking Mark down I would be most grateful. Thanks.
Sincerely,
Chris Davis Kenya
