Pop Buell
Edgar "Pop" Buell (1913-1980) was a humanitarian aid worker in Laos. He worked as farmer in Steuben County, Indiana until the age of 47,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.everestinfo.or/laos2/index.php )〕 but following the death of his wife in 1958 he joined the International Voluntary Services, a precursor to the Peace Corps, which offered him a job as an agricultural adviser in Laos. Buell worked in Laos through the Laotian Civil War, organizing relief aid to refugees and isolated villages, before he was forced to flee Laos in the mid-1970s. ==Volunteer== In 1958, Buell volunteered with the International Voluntary Services (IVS), a Bible Belt edition of the Peace Corps, at the salary of sixty-five dollars a month. In May 1960, he left Indiana for an orientation course in Washington, D.C., and then flew to Laos (his first time out of the United States) for his new job. In Laos, Pop (as he came to be universally known) was assigned to a small village about 100 miles north of Vientiane. He lived in a hut without plumbing or electricity, his life there reminding him of growing up on the farm in Indiana.〔. Accessed January 18, 2011.〕
