MIDDLEBURY — In just a few weeks, Carol Peddie will be on her way to Haiti.

What brought Peddie, the associate dean of Library and Information Services at Middlebury College, to this point was both her desire to help out in the Caribbean nation hit by a Jan. 12 earthquake and a fortunate connection.

At the end of February, the Hubbardton resident heard from Dr. Joan Huffman, a trauma surgeon and friend from Jacksonville, Fla. Huffman had traveled to Haiti just after the January temblor, and Peddie had asked her to look out for any volunteer opportunities.
