The Refugee Crisis Team Reunited for The Phoenix

October 19, 2012-Mid-way in Jim Purcell's interviews for Hope of the Phoenix (his book-in-progress), a former U. S. Refugee Program team member initiated a lunch/reunion for the refugee team/pioneers. Members of the team of the formative years of the U.S. State Department's Refugee Program bureau met in a Washington restaurant. Many of them continue to work and/or reside in the area. The lunch meeting was their first social and book-related reunion.
