We are expecting our first child this August. I've just taken a new job, with U'una'i Legal Services Corporation, providing legal services to victims of domestic violence in the Territory of American Samoa. Life on an island in the south pacific is a huge change from life on the mainland. So far it has been exciting, frustrating, and amazing. American Samoa is a beautiful place, and the people generally friendly, although it is an amazingly remote location.
Work is fun, and busy, as U'una'i is the only provider of free legal services on the island.
I'd love to hear from any earlhamites who have spent time in the islands, or are thinking about a trip south of the equator, so please feel free to email me. The telephone service and mail can be strange down here, luckily there is the internet to facilitate communications with friends and family. I was married May 20th and had a mini-reunion of good Earlham friends. We bought our first home this October, and moved into it in November. He has travelled to places such as Japan, France, and will be going to Germany on business trips.
