Bring us up to date on your life after the peace corps:
Have taught a little in the U.S., but later went back to the school in Ghana for a total of seven more years' teaching. Started software development and later software quality assurance. Currently in Las Vegas in a "survival" job, wishing I was teaching in Ghana again...
Oh - I got married and have two wonderful grown children, and (so far) two grand-children.
Any thoughts you have now looking back on peace corps days?:
Certainly changed the direction of my life.
