In 1967, Dr. William Podlich took a two-year leave of absence from teaching at Arizona State University and began a stint with UNESCO to teach in the Higher Teachers College in Kabul, Afghanistan, where he served as the 'Expert on Principles of Education.' His wife Margaret and two daughters, Peg and Jan, came with him.
Dr. Podlich was also a prolific amateur photographer and he documented his family's experience and daily life in Kabul, rendering frame after frame of a serene, idyllic Afghanistan. Only about a decade before the 1979 Soviet invasion, Dr. Podlich and his family experienced a thriving, modernizing country.
