Alan (Al) Pedolsky served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Afghanistan from 1970 to 1971 as a teacher. This was during the Vietnam War, which he had protested. Pedolsky was stationed in Kabul and worked as an English teacher. The natural landscape in Afghanistan made a significant impression on him because he was raised in Brooklyn and had never seen such mountains. Interviewed and recorded by Robin Southern, May 17, 2003. 1 tape (web streaming files combined into 1 file).
