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

Still married to Debbie Maclin, 3 boys, 2 in college, 1 in HS, Now a nameless, faceless bueaurocrat with the Forest Service in the Southern Regional Office. On the plus side I cover from Texas to Puerto Rico and get to see a lot of territory and work with good people in GIS

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

Still describe it as "Interesting". It ruined me for living in the states (even though I do so) as I continue to question why people here are so myopic when it comes to the rest of the world.

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

Anyone in Guatemala between 1979 and 1982

Any message for returned volunteers?:

Continue to try and seek employment with the government - it is possible to make changes from within (bit, by bit, the Peace Corps Mafia will take over and bring sanity to DC
