Dick Momsen, writing from Costa Rica as one of the ever increasing number of '45s to be found south of the border, brings us up-to-date on his activities. "'After a number of years teaching geography at several different universities in the States, with occasional spells off to work on study or development projects in Latin America, I moved to England in 1966, simultaneously marrying a fellow geographer from that country, Janet Henshall. We spent four months working on a British government project together in the Windward Islands before returning to London ... while I completed a book, 'Brazil - A Giant Stirs,' to be published in the spring of 1968. In mid-1967 we moved to Costa Rica, where I hold the post of Senior Photointerpreter in the Interamerican Institute of Agricultural Sciences' Resources for Development Program, an A.1.D.-sponsored project to train Latin Americans to carry out their own resource surveys and evaluation for development projects.... The institute itself is a 25-year-old Organization of American States research center, which has gained some fame in soil and biological investigations, located in a mountain-ringed valley on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica's highlands at about 2,000 feet elevation and encircled by coffee groves and sugar cane fields."
