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

I am retiring this June ('03) after teaching in Reading, Mass since 1972.

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

It remains the greatest experience of my life. God, how I miss the taste of freshly steamed matooke, smothered with a lovely groundnut sauce. I remember fondly the balmy nights in Kampala and the hot sun of the Kenyan coast while on holiday. I never have felt so free as I did then.

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

Anyone who remembers me or would to reminisce about the "good old days"
