Returned Peace Corps Volunteer Brad Clinehens can be contacted at bccpsuayahoodcom

Country of Service: Mauritania

Training Group: Community Agro-forestry

Cities you served in: Bouboudiana (Brakna region)

Arrival Year: 1999

Departure Year: 2001

Work Description:

I worked with a women's gardening cooperative along the Senegal River. My village was black Moor.

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

I currently work for UC Cooperative Extension in the Eastern Sierra region of CA. Just found out six weeks ago the university is eliminating my position after Sept. I hate job hunting!!! (I'm still single as can be.)

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

Oh do I miss chebujen!!! I also miss hanging out with my pcv friends on a regular basis. However I don't miss the poor village diet or being sick all the time.

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

Chad Adams (aka Chase Valentino, porn star) where art thou???? Are you in Algeria, Sudan, Chad, or Libya right now?? You are a mystery wrapped in a riddle.

Any message for returned volunteers?:

Was our two year service on the movie set of the , "The Truman Show?" It was truly a surreal experience to say the least. If I just would have videotaped pcv's from my group I would have won an Oscar for best film documentary.

It is now January 2007. It's been over five years since returning from my RIM Peace Corps experience. I now live just outside of Chicago, here in Merrillville, Indiana. I work for Purdue University. Any RIM PCV alumni in Chicago? If so, shoot me an email.
