Papers of the managing editor of the "Amery Free Press," a local Wisconsin paper, documenting his work with the newspaper, his service with the Peace Corps in the Philippines (1962-1964), and his community involvement. Papers pertaining to his Peace Corps service include letters from friends in the United States and the Philippines, official memos, and training brochures. "Free Press" records consist of reader mail, other correspondence, and clippings. Activity in community work is revealed through the subject file, which contains material on local schools and hospitals, and organizations. Photographs include images of Sondreal and acquaintances in the Philippines and of the Cameron High School band and choir, and copies of invitations to weddings. Additions added in 2016 include leaflets dispersed by the Government of Vietnam (GVN) during the Vietnam War and papers relating to Martin Baligdia, a Filipino man attempting to obtain a veteran disability pension for his family following the death of his father in 1953.
