Robert S. Newman served as a Peace Corps volunteer in India from 1964 to 1966. He was stationed at an adult literacy and training institute outside of the city of Lucknow. However, the Peace Corps had trained him to raise chickens. It was difficult to establish chicken projects because the people did not really eat eggs or chicken for cultural reasons. Newman met his future wife while in India. Interviewed and recorded by Srikumari Sibbadi, April 29, 1994, as part of a Northeastern University public history class. 1 tape (web streaming files combined into 1 file).
