Married. Four daughters (last one graduated college this year!) After many different jobs ended up teaching again. Am now a semi-retired high school math teacher.

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

I am constantly amazed at how often Peace Corps has an impact on my daily life. One of my daughters joined Peace Corps and another is considering it. My neighbors are 5 year veterans of Peace Corps. It is a lifetime experience.

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

I would like to hear from any of my fellow volunteers. Susan (Kandarian) Gefvert and I are trying to organize a reunion in October 2004. Any help on locating people will be appreciated. I would like to especially find Elizabeth Ellen Robertson who was my room-mate.
