Darien Native Shares Peace Corps Experience In Library Program

DARIEN, Conn. – Darien resident Peter Duker joined the Peace Corps after college. This decision led to his spending more than a year in Sierra Leone, teaching high school-level physics. He has returned, because of the Peace Corps’ evacuation after the Ebola outbreak. He will share some of his experiences at 7 p.m., Tuesday, Sept. 9, at the Darien Library.
