Hello to any one knowing what year this was taken and to whom his parents might be. I am trying to find out about my history on my mother’s side of the family. She never told me about her side even after me questioning. So now it is all a mystery to me. All are Hartsocks. Thanks. S.Kennedy
I worked with Earl in 1975, in Iran, but not in the Peace Corps. My guess is that he was a well-worked 50 at that time, so I’d take a guess that he is about 30 in this photo, making my guess the picture was taken in the mid-1950s, before the Peace Corps was established. I had to fire him from our job in Iran when he failed to report to work for a week, but he was a likable man with sparkling blue eyes and a propensity for laughter. I don’t guess he laughed much when he thought of me, though. Too bad, because he is a nice man.

Earl was a friend of my father. I met him when I was young. He beguiled me with a shoe box full of old monochrome photos from Afghanistan, India and Iran; old passports and papers with wax seals and humanitarian stories of service… He and it were some of my first inspirations towards making humanitarian work my life, which I have done. I have worked for many years in both India and Afghanistan as a humanitarian. I have been overseas now for so long…that I have lost touch with all these roots. If anyone has any information, old photos, stories, etc…. I would love to hear them.
