A Tribute to Don Hess

24 Comments

Read Now
 
This blog was written by Linda Ecker in honor of former Peace Corps Korea Country Director (1970-72) and Peace Director (1972-73), Don Hess.  Don passed away on September 15, 2013.  He was the first PC Director to initiate training of the Volunteers in their host countries, resulting in effective country-specific training, greater utilization of host country nationals, and cost saving for Peace Corps.

My Tribute to Don Hess

One would be hard-pressed to find a more honorable man than Don Hess.  He wasn’t flashy.  Perhaps he was not even memorable.  But he was a man of his word and one who could be counted on to do the right thing always.  One might be tempted to add “as he saw it”, but what more can one ask when it comes to character?  Perhaps I did not know him as well as some.  To the extent that I knew him, this is what I know.

I remember the first time I saw Don Hess standing in front of my desk at Peace Corps headquarters on H Street, when we were just across from Lafayette Square.  He was humble and polite which was refreshing for someone of his professional stature.  I came to know him as unfailingly kind.  We exchanged weekly letters during his tenure as Country Director, and when he came to Washington as Director of the Peace Corps, his door was always open to me.  Granted, it was a heady time for the Korea Desk Officer with both Kevin O’Donnell and Don Hess occupying consecutive eminent positions.  The “Korea Mafia” was an often-heard phrase.

I was so happy to see him at the NANEAP gathering in Washington at the 50th Anniversary Celebration.  It certainly did not seem then that his “time was limited.”  I live in Lancaster now, and I had not known that he was a “Lancaster County boy” and had graduated from Franklin and Marshall College here.  I have since learned that he received a Doctor of Humane Letters from F&M in 2011.  He had also been a member of the Board of Trustees for the college since 1988.  Clearly, he was respected by all who knew him, and I am grateful to have been one of them.

I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga.

I cannot identify myself as an "HIV Survivor" because I'm not surviving. I have conquered the battle of HIV/AIDS with natural alternatives. I have broken down the walls of stigma, I have fought against discrimination, I have risen above rejections and criticisms. It has been 12 years of Victory, right after under the supervision of Doctor Muna. If I can find cure, comfort and healing with Doctor Muna's natural herbal products, anyone with chronic disease or viral infections can get cure too.

I want to use this opportunity to testify of the marvelous work of Dr. Odunga and how he has helped me in curing my sickness and bringing happiness into my life. I can really vouch for Dr. Odunga in herbal treatment. I was suffering from Cervical Cancer and infected with HPV 16. I used to have unusual vaginal bleeding and painful urination. There was nothing I could do until a childhood friend introduced me to Dr. Odunga Remedies. I spoke with him and ordered his recommended medication which was delivered to me through DHL. Immediately I began using herbal medicine, and within a week I couldn't feel any pain. It took me 2 weeks to finish the medicine and afterwards I was completely cured. I highly recommend that you order your herbal medication through Chief Dr. Odunga. Contact his email [email protected] OR What'sApp/Call him at +2348167159012

He is 100% reliable to help you too.

I hope I'm not too late to share this. I won $2 million in the WESTERN MAX LOTTERY with the help of an online spell caster named Meduza.. I reached out to him on WhatsApp at this number +1 (807) 907-2687, saying, "I need a lottery spell," after reading positive comments about his spellcasting online. Meduza explained the process to me, and I agreed to his terms, which were reasonable. It took him 48 hours to prepare the spell, and then he sent me the lucky numbers for the WESTERN MAX LOTTERY, which I followed carefully. To my amazement, on March 4th, 2025, I checked and discovered that I had won $2 million at the store where I purchased my ticket. My heart is full of JOY and I want to take this opportunity to thank Meduza for his assistance. Meduza also offers spells for other issues like rekindling relationships, healing illnesses, spells to become successful in life and gaining promotions at work, among other things. You can also contact him by email at: [email protected]

I have faced many challenges in my life, particularly financial ones. I have experimented with various jobs / business ventures but none seemed to be successful. As the saying goes, when you exhaust your options, you look for assistance. During my search for self-improvement online, I came across someone sharing their gratitude towards Meduza, the renowned spell caster for helping them win the lottery. Initially, I had my doubts but I felt compelled to give it a shot since my life was falling apart. I contacted him and he agreed to assist me with a prosperity spell. It took almost 3 days for him to complete the spell for me and after two weeks, I found myself among the fortunate winners of $1 MILLION from the Elon Musk give away. At this moment, I want to state that Meduza is the top spell caster and I would appreciate your support in expressing my gratitude to him via his email: [email protected] or WhatsApp +1 807 907 2687.

I am from New Jersey. My herpes virus turned to war after 2 years of living with it. I have tried different medical procedures to cure my herpes but to no avail. Most people think herpes is only a minor skin irritation of which herpes has long term effects on health and passes through the bloodstream and can be easily contracted through sexual intercourse. I knew I had herpes from the first day I started feeling itchy in my pubic area and the pain was very unbearable. I couldn't stand it anymore. After 2 years of trying other means to get rid of it, I had to contact Doctor Guba to help me with a permanent cure. I saw his email and whats-app number from a testimony I read online from a lady who was also helped by him in curing infertility problems, I had faith and contacted him. He assured me of his work and I ordered his herbal medicine. Within 5 days, I didn't feel any pain anymore and within 2 weeks, my skin was all cleared and smooth. I am very grateful to you sir and I write this testimony as others have done to bring those having faith to you sir. If you have herpes or other similar disease and you want it cured, kindly contact Doctor Guba, WhatsApp (+2348162388034) Email [email protected] OR website: https://drgubahealingherbs.wixsite.com/guba-healing-herbs

My marriage of 6 years have been filled with endless misery which led to the divorce I never wanted with my husband. Everything crashed and we went our separate ways. I tried to move on but it was so difficult for me because I still loved my husband and my daughter has always cried because she misses her father. I had no choice rather than to seek help which led me to contacting DR Ilekhojie. After seeing so many good remarks about his work and reaching out to him, he assured me of reconciling me and my husband with his reconciliation ritual. He explained to me that my husband is going to change his mind about the divorce and return and we will be a happy family again. I am glad to tell you all that the love and happiness has been reinstated and we got back together all thanks to Dr Ilekhojie. He is never too busy to help anyone. So contact him now if you need help as well. Website: https://gethelps.online or Just text him via WhatsApp +2348147400259
