and Egypt contacts. Worked out of San Diego. Extensive travel in Mid
East. Got Master's in Ed Tech from SDSU. Ended up in Indonesia in '82 -

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

Actually, the most fun years of my life. Developed some of my best
curricula. Got married. Got the travel bug very badly.
