It's never too late to join the Peace Corps!
Lincoln recently finished up his 3rd Peace Corps service (in @PeaceCorpsTZ, the Solomon Islands, and South Africa). Soon, he's off to serve again in Thailand.
In a life dedicated to public service, he had careers in the U.S. military and in education. Next month, he turns 82.
