My name is Dave Kaufman, and I was in DR 2 assigned to Puerto Plata (1962-4).  My wife, Anita and I have been in Costa Rica for the past 40 years where we own and operate Conversa, a language school dedicated to the teaching of Spanish and English as foreign languages.  If you get a chance, please visit our website at www.conversa.net  It's always a special pleasure for us when we hear from former DR Volunteers.
