In the African “bush,” Proctor dined on suppers of fried grasshopper, python liver, and bush rat. But most memorable were those evenings talking with the “wonderful African people who bear their extraordinary burdens with such courage and dignity,” recalls Proctor. “I used to enjoy just sitting and talking with the women, especially those living with HIV/AIDS.”

Today, Proctor lives in Palo Alto, California, with his second wife, Patty Irish, whom he met on an Elderhostel trip to Bhutan. He remains active in human rights issues and continues to speak on the subject whenever possible. And just recently, Proctor made yet another investment—this one in the form of a donation to Trinity’s Human Rights Program, ensuring that future generations of Trinity students will continue to carry on his inspiring work.
