Corps, Wa in the beginning and now NPCA. Have a MA/MSW from U. of
Chicago, SSA 1969 and has adapted to meet more than numerous
changing circumstances.
Any thoughts you have now looking back on peace corps days?:
I feel PC is the best Federal Agency ever; in fact, this is what is now
working against its present success. As a PCV both times, I had very
good work and social experiences; the kind that one can only get as a
PCV apparently. The schism between all of the Peace Corps worlds is
getting pretty big now.
Anyone you are looking for or would like to hear from?:
Not at the moment
