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

Enjoying as a Science Teacher at a Middle School in San Antonio, TX. Also
actively involved with: *The Returned Peace Corps Volunteers(RPCV'S) of
San Antonio; *The Karilagan Philippine Cultural Group, where my wife,
Lourdes ( former Peace Corps Phil. trainer ), and our son, PJ, are active
members.

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

The Peace Corps was a wonderful experience--I gained and developed
more( with all the learnings and challenges), as a person, and glad to have
made a small difference! I loved my stay in the Philippines. I've been
married for 27 years to Lourdes Dato-on, a Peace Corps trainer ( indeed,
she trained me well ), and had our son, PJ, during my Peace Corps service.
Our Peace Corps experience led us to continue working for people
development. My wife & I worked with the United Nations/ICMC Refugee
Resettlement Program after my tour of duty. Our son later became an
AmeriCorps/City Year Volunteer before completing his college. Yes, Peace
Corps has been a big stepping stone and a blessing to a rewarding and rich
life for me and my loved ones. I continue to share this as my RPCV mission,
to fulfill the 3rd goal of Peace Corps; grateful & proud to have served!

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

Yes, any member from my original Group 77 esp. Barry & Terry. Also
friends from another group, Rollin & Betty Heller, and Richard Freeman.

Any message for returned volunteers?:

Welcome back--stay in touch with your local RPCV's group--a good support
and networking resource! Good luck!
