Bring us up to date on your life after the peace corps:

Came home and had two beautiful daughters, got involved
with the
League of Women Voters, worked for a regional planning
agency doing
community and economic development, worked as
marketing, public
relations and sales director for
architectural/engineering firm, worked for
the City of Fort Wayne directing their business
development efforts in the
Department of Economic Development. Got remarried to a
wonderful guy,
George, and had another beautiful daughter, Katy.
Currently volunteering
at school and tutoring Afghan refugees in English and
cross-cultural
activities. I continue to remain active in
international activities.

Any thoughts you have now looking back on peace corps
days?:

I'm still bothered daily by what was told to me: that
Afgans associating
with Americans, especially Peace Corps Volunteers, were
summarily
executed when the Russians invaded in '79. Other
messages that I left
with: 1) You can be anything you want to be. 2) All
peoples think about,
laugh about and worry about the same things. They just
have different
clothes, foods, religions and environments.

Anyone you are looking for or would like to hear from?:

Everyone in Cycle 30!

Any message for returned volunteers?:

Call (260) 281-2499 and come visit us on the farm.
