Truk Talk

Trukese artifacts

Gave a 'Truk Talk' or 'Chuuk Chat' this morning at the monthly Men's Coffee Social here at CVOC. The presentation was very well received with a full audience in the dining room. Many questions at the end of the talk. This was, of course, about my four years living in Truk in the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands in Micronesia, 1963 to 1967.

bloginfo: Truk was the name of the island district when I lived there. Now after joining the Federated States of Micronesia it is called its original name of Chuuk.

blognote: CVOC is Covenant Village of Cromwell where I have lived for the past three years.

Chuuk [PI]

How's this for a 'bucket list' trip! Would like to return to Chuuk [Truk when we lived there for four years] for my 75th birthday in 2012. Could travel to Hawai'i and stay with friends, fly to Guam, then fly to Chuuk and maybe even Pohnpei [Ponape when we lived there for a year]. Just dreaming; will let you know!
