We will be getting a new country director in March and i must admit my immense sadness at the thought of my crush major supreme on Ken Goodson, our current CD. Ken is probably one of the most fantastic people you will ever meet and it is a rarity that a country director meets all of the volunteers in their respective countries due to travel and communication limitations. Here we are blessed (other countries say spoiled rotten) with cell phones, internet, and reliable transportation so Ken has developed a personal relationship with about 98% of the volunteers here. Just this past Wednesday he treated me to a Starbucks coffee latte after saying to hell with Dr. Dan's orders of no caffeine. This is a man who you literally bear your soul and all your troubles to in four minutes. ( And I of course inappropriately asked the Ambassador on Thanksgiving if Ken has the same effect on him that he does on us volunteers, to which he classically responded "Well no actually Ken does that to me :)"
We're gonna miss you Ken.
