Moe, 1962

My dad, pictured, entering the Peace Corps shortly after JFK announced the program at Univ. of Michigan, where my father was a law student.  This is where he met my mom.

From the Peace Corps' first facebook:
ORENSTEIN, MORTON, 26, is a lawyer from St. Louis.  He received his formal education at University City High School, Northwestern University, and the University of Michigan Law School, maintaining consistently high averages at all three. After receiving his LL. B. in June 1961, he practiced civil law with a firm in St. Louis until he entered the army for six months in January of this year, where he served in the Judge Advocate General's Office.  His summer jobs have ranged from legal clerk to machine operator to camp counselor.  Mr. Orenstein's leisure interests lead him outdoors as often as possible to enjoy camping, hiking, hunting and fishing.  He has traveled in Europe for a short period of time."
