The only Alaska legislator I can find who is also an RPCV is Pete Petersen. He served as an agricultural volunteer (he grew up on a farm in Iowa) in the Dominican Republic. I talked to him about what he'd gotten out of the Peace Corps. My sound card was full Thursday, so I went back again on Friday. But I only got a bit of our conversation on video. Here's a bit of that bit.
