Dr. Kitchen, when you are not at work at WFP, what can you be found doing?
“Riding with my cycling friends around the beautiful countryside of Chautauqua County, gardening in my backyard, or traveling to visit my children and grandchildren.”
Dr. Kitchen, what is the most interesting place you have been to and why?
“Africa, as the people there have a very different perspective on life which is often polar opposite of our first-world, fast-paced, self-oriented world view, reminding me of the importance of people and relationships. The tea fields of Kenya, the safari plains of the Masai Mara, the incredible waterfalls on display at Victoria Falls, and the jungles of the Congo are pleasant memories to recall as well.”
