Spent 30 years in Public Health with the Centers for Disease Control and

was appointed Director of CDC's Center for Health Promotion and
Education and as President of the International Union for Health Promotion
and Education (an NGO). Currently Director of Research at Kaiser
Permanente in Atlanta.

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

I would urge all Thai PCVs (through Group 112, last time I looked)to visit
Carolyn Nickels' site and send her a note to put online.

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

Thai 2 group...discuss a reunion in Ann Arbor Summer 2002 or at the 40+1
