Bring us up to date on your life after the peace corps:
Masters work at U of Tex, then back to Iran for 7 years as ESL Teacher & back to
US in 1975. Worked for Santa Clara County Transit and taught AdultEd ESL
classes for 6 years. Retired in 1995 and moved to AR where I started teaching
ESL again.
Any thoughts you have now looking back on peace corps days?:
Joining the Peace Corps was even more important than joining the Marine Corps.
It gave me the opportunity to learn one of the two things I wanted to do when I
was a kid in school. And, I have returned to it after 15 years working for the
government in CA.
