In 1962 of those people who'd expressed an interest in joining the newly founded Peace Corps 150 were invited to the Univ. of Pittsburgh to train to be in the first group of Volunteers to be sent to Liberia.

Of the 150 invitees 135 of them showed up for the training program.

Of the 135 who began training for Group Liberia One 120 survived the training and screening processes to be accepted as Volunteers to be sent to Liberia.

106 Volunteers of Group Liberia One, 106 of the 120, actually were sent to Liberia.

99 of the 106 sent to Liberia served a full two year commitment. I.e., 7 couldn't hack it in Liberia & went home early.
