Entry: A long time coming... Friday, December 15, 2006



It has indeed been a long time since I was on here to update the world wirth my whereabouts.

I am still at the same place, Carlinville, loving it, working hard. I now hold an almost full-time position at Blackburn College (University to all you Kazakhs reading this). I work 30 hours a week as the Student New Construction Crew Supervisor. I tell them to work; they work, sometimes.

They need a lot of help. The work they have done would make a blind man cringe to walk near it. It's bad. Really BAD.

Anyway, that's about it. I work, pay bills, and work some more.

I wish I had more to say. But, I don't. not right now.

Dear Fellow RPCV,

Peace Corps was a life changing experience for me and I wish to give back by using my experience and abilities as a photojournalist.

I have entered a proposal to an online competition calling for photographers to name their "Dream Assignment."

From March 3 to April 3, 2009, the ideas will be open to a public vote. The Top 20 ideas with the most “pics” coming out of the vote will then be judged by an expert panel, who will select the winner based on the originality and creativity of the photographer’s idea. The panel will also take into consideration skill and experience.

Go to the following url to vote for my project:

Erica Burman from the National Peace Corps Association posted this on Facebook about my project:Erica Burman thinks that RPCV Richard Sitler has a powerful idea for the Peace Corps community: http://tinyurl.com/datbp2 Can you help make it happen? Vote!

Forward this to your friends and colleagues.

Thank you for your support,

Richard Sitler (JA 00-02) (Blackburn College '89)

I was at Blackburn with Herve and it is sad to hear about its state. I remember building the racquetball courts in the hot of the summer!

Supertramp rocks!!

sorry to hear about the current poor Construction at blackburn. When I went to school there the students built the pool complex and did everything fom the mason work to installing the boilers to the firealarms and all electrical work.
The students before us built the
library
