Syracuse University Training and Marriage

Peppy Dennett and Bill Kinsey spent three months at Syracuse University in training for their teaching assignment in Africa. Their time at Syracuse is discussed, especially the content of the training program. Bill was scheduled for a post in Malawi, so he needed a transfer to allow the marriage and joint posting in Tanzania. Peppy’s mother opposed the marriage at first; she was appalled at the quick decision to wed. She relented and pulled everything together for a wedding, and they were married a few days before leaving for Africa. Peppy’s sister and Peppy’s friends describe their reaction on their first and only meeting with Bill before the couple left for Africa: “We hardly knew him.”
