Since I no longer work I guess all
my news is personal. Our second godchild
(they are like our grandchildren
since we don't have children), Daniel,
was born last October. He joins big
sister Alexandra, now 6, as the two
most darling children on the planet!
In February I made my first trip
to Israel and am returning to Jerusalem
this November for the wedding of
a close friend. I've traveled all
over Western Europe, visited Russia,
and lived and worked for short periods
in Romania, but going to Israel is
very different from any other kind
of international travel I've done.
As an aside, I felt safer in Jerusalem
than I do in St. Louis.
We now have minor league baseball
here in Columbia, and I won season
tickets in the name-the-team contest.
So we've spent a lot of hot summer
nights at the ballpark and we've
loved every minute of it! We are
also eagerly awaiting MU football
and basketball seasons; we're lucky
enough to have season basketball
tickets. Since we are both rabid
college sports fans, Columbia is
a great place to live!
Former Employer: University
of Missouri International Center
as the Coordinator, Fellowships & Special
Projects
I wrote grant proposals and a variety
of reports, prospectuses, student
and faculty handbooks, briefing books,
brochures and so on. I also designed
and developed the international center's
first Web page, back in the day when
we did all the HTML tagging by hand.
I also had a number of student advisees,
mostly international exchange students
who didn't have an assigned faculty
advisor.
I would be happy to speak with or
e-mail MWSU graduates coming to MU
for graduate degrees, or anyone who
wants to know how a Liberal Arts
degree can be useful in the real
world. While at MWSU I further developed
and refined my ability to write concisely
and accurately, which helped me get
(and keep) what turned out to be
a terrific job which I hated to have
to leave.
