Doyle praises Peace Corps, encourages new volunteers

Fondly recalling his Peace Corps experiences in Tunisia, Gov. Jim Doyle complimented returning Corps volunteers and congratulated newly nominated ones for their dedication and service at Agriculture Hall Friday.

After an introduction by UW-Madison Interim Provost Virginia Sapiro, the governor said he was delighted to speak about his experiences and personal insight gained through his Corps service. Remembering former President John F. Kennedy�s call for service, Doyle said the former president�s inspiration encouraged him to embark on the new service program back in 1967.
