Thinking Out Loud: Returned Peace Corps Volunteers Recall 1966 MU and Three Creeks Training

Trevor Harris / KBIA

Trainees headed for service in the US Peace Corps train in their country of service. It's been that way for years. For two years in the late 1960s, however, the University of Missouri College of Agriculture hosted trainees on campus and at land that is now Three Creeks Conservation Area. On this episode of Thinking Out Loud, we hear memories from a group of men who trained for the US Peace Corps right here in Boone County.

This program originally aired on September 15, 2015. Listen for new episodes of Thinking Out Loud each Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. on 91.3 FM KBIA.
