Swearing in Awards.

Every graduating class of Peace Corps El Salvador has a serious of awards that are presented to specific individuals. These awards are presented to specific volunteers after being voted on by the entire body. I am overjoyed, overwhelmed, overly... confused, yet proud to present to you what my fellow volunteers have bestoyed apon me.

James Jerome Leo Leddy, aka Jimbo, PCV El Salvador:

1) Most likely to be the Don Juan of Salvodran dating.

2) Most likely to be the Don Juan of Peace Corps dating.

For those of you that are now thinking, ¨hey, isn´t that kind of the same thing?¨

SHAME ON YOU!

Don Juan of Salvodran dating, implies that out of my entire class, I have the best chances of dating a Salvadoreña(s).

Don Juan of Peace Corps dating implies that I have game with the American chicks here.

I would have presented these presitigious titles to all of you weeks ago, however, apon hearing this news I immeditaly demanded a recall out of pure shock.

Ask anyone of my friends back home, or any girl that I have ever dated, and they will infact tell you that I actually have no game, whatsoever.

Another thing that I should mention here, is that at no point during training or since the start have service have I ever been approached or slightly hit-on by an American or Salvodoreña... adding a little more mystory to this dual-award.

One thing is for sure, there will be a time, years from now, while I am sitting down on my couch with my grandchildren, and they will say´´grandpa jimbo, did you ever when any awards for being really good with women...?¨

Will I have a story to tell....

In El Salvador, beating women off with a stick,

Jimbo

Your grandkids will eat it up! We can vouch for your gregarious nature and natural charm and good looks (which you obviously get from your mother - ha ha), and also for the fact that you are a true gentleman. And speaking of reporting live in El Salvador beating women off with a stick: As we said in an earlier posting: Walk tall and carry a big stick!

being an official wingman for james throughout his what we call his "wandering/ i have that one" stage, i would like to say that this award certainly comes as no suprise. And unlike his rigging of the votes to attain a co-funniest spot in the annals of Salem Highschool - this one i hear was all legit.
