After returning from the Peace Corps, I received a graduate degree in Medical Care Organization from the University of Michigan. For the next 30+ years, I worked in the health care field. I moved from NYC to California in the 1980s and have lived on the West Coast ever since then. I'm currently retired.

The Peace Corps helped me to grow-up and discover my own potential. It also instilled in me a life-long desire to travel the world and meet new people.

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

I have been trying to find Mike Gold and would enjoy hearing from Bernie Reynolds.
