Any thoughts you have now looking back on peace corps days?:
It was the very best way that I could have spent the first two years after my retirement - a challenging but enriching experience that primed me to continue new challenges instead going to the rocking chair!
Anyone you are looking for or would like to hear from?:
I see colleagues (with addresses) listed in the Malawi Directory.
Any message for returned volunteers?:
Use some time to establish you place and position in your home network; integrate what you gained from Peace Corps into your life forever. You are among a select few who have had an experience anywhere near that of your PC experience but Americans are not going to want to hear very much about it, so just apply your knowledge and commitment to the many problems that overshadow us.
