Yucatan project fosters exchange with Iowans at Progreso
The Committee of the Partners of the Alliance opened its summer home in Progreso to Iowa visitors and gifted Dr Heusinkveld a guitar for his birthday. They offered private accommodations in Sisal and guided tours with two University of Yucatan sophomores. A cracker-plant associate arranged cheaper chartered buses for Americans. A square dancing party was set up for the CU I Contingent by the Institute's director with U S Vice-Consul Robert Stevens and wife Margaret in attendance. U S Consul Paul Dwyer was also involved.

Zgetta led a Central visit to Yucatan to brief on political affairs and the American Consul duties. The trip, arranged by a university psychology chair, toured Colonial Yucatan and Cordomex Co, a top twine producer. Maya villagers shared huts with students as smiles bridged language gaps, laying groundwork for people-to-people ties between Pella and Yucatan.
