RIP: Pete Tarantola (1976-2019)/RPCV Kyrgyzstan (2007-2009)/China (2009-2010)

In which your host addresses the passing of one of his fellow — and most beloved — Peace Corps volunteers. Like the rest of my cohorts, I am at a loss for words, so I shall let The Pogues tell it. So long, Pete. We will make this world a better place in your absence. Promise.
