Bring us up to date on your life after the peace corps:
Married a guy from E. da Cunha and we have raised two sons. I have worked as a college registrar and later a Quality Manager. All along have been doing free lance translation and recently opened own business "The Right Word" translation services. Returned to Bahia in the mid eighties, running the family cattle ranch and teaching English. Vacationed in Bahia in 2001 with Barb Polland Stein and Cathy Weiller Buchalter and their spouses. Was great to see them reconnect with their friends from Serrinha after 30 years! Have also remained in contact over the years with John Stende who served in Cicero Dantas.
