Coates Redmon, Peace Corps Chronicler

Coates Redmon, a staffer in Sargent Shriver's Peace Corps, died February 22, 2005 in Washington, DC. Her book "Come as You Are" is considered to be one of the finest (and most entertaining) recountings of the birth of the Peace Corps and how it was literally thrown together in a matter of weeks. If you want to know what it felt like to be young and idealistic in the 1960's, get an out-of-print copy. We honor her memory.
