Lisa's Story
Hi --- Well I am not sure what to say to remind you of who I was or I guess still am but I do have alot of fond memories from Kettering and reconized several names on the profile list. So here a little back story-- After graduation I married Doug Jorissen (he's still in waterford next door to his parents if interested in contacting him) and we have 3 boys. Life takes its toll and we are divorced now (It's ok we are still friends although he is remarried with 2 step-sons and a daughter) As you can imagine I wasn't wanting to stick around so not being to thrilled with the neighborhood (remember the parents next door ?!?) I decided to break out on my own as a flight attendant with Northwest commercial that as a Person Flight Crew Member for the Ford Family on their corporate planes. After 9/11 Flying wasn't all the great and I wanted to go back to college and be completely independant (I never regreted getting married and having a baby at 18 but for sure I don't recommend it.
Fast forward I attended U of M as a Broadcast major and specialized in Radio---I had been fortunate to be in the right place right time and was given an on air time slot of 2-4pm hosting an 80's Flashback Show. (wsgr93.1 a clear channel company) It see...Expand for more
ms like the last 20years have flown by (can you believe we are 40? OMG!!!!) and I should be thinking of retirement but I am actually in the Grad Program at UC BERKLEY ( so not what I thought it would be ----- be careful what you wish for ; you just might get it) and do Communications Consulting when my schedule permits. I am very proud of my last position at P,F,CHANGS China Bistro as the Marketing/Promotions Director I implemented the Downtown Delievery and Catering Program with Large Party and Events also now being provided. It was a test market for the company and was well recieved enough to continue not only here in San Jose, Ca but in all of the 198 Nationwide locations. (the food is phenomanal )
Well I guess that's it me in a 150 word nutshell ...haha but I will admit that the twists and turns have not taken me where I had oh so painstakenly planed some years ago I am genuienly happy and am on most days having something to smile and laugh about and hope that all of you are doing well and keep those who aren't in our thoughts. If you make it to "The Bay" look me up as they say out here we'll do a meeting over bev's just contact my people.............. God I miss Waterford, there truely is no place like home. Peace.
