Kelly's Story
So, after graduation, I spent the worst summer of my life waitressing at the House of Pies on Colorado Boulevard. Things could only go up !
Since then, I've
1) collected 4 "seemed like a good idea at the time", but currently, fairly useless degrees: BA and MA in History, French, and Russian (at Western State College in Gunnison, and at Indiana University); CSS and MBA in Management and International Business (at Harvard, and at the Thunderbird Graduate School of International Management in Glendale Arizona).
2) lived (in the US) in Indiana, Massachusetts, New York, Arizona, Louisiana, Alaska, and (now) Oregon
3) lived and/or worked (elsewhere) in Paris, London, Belfast, Amsterdam, Abidjan (Ivory Coast, Africa), Manila (Philippines), Hong Kong, Seoul (Korea). Guam. Okinawa (Japan)
4) served as a Peace Corps volunteer in the late...Expand for more
'70's in Kisangani, Zaire (Africa)
5) gotten married 3 times......exes are in Massachusetts and Texas; current husband is in Oregon.....no kids, just dogs (mostly Welsh Corgis)
6) worked in corporate (insurance, banking, hotel management); non-profit (with the US military, and fundraising); and government (17 years in various jobs with the State of Oregon). Highlights: consultant with Intercontinental Hotels; running a USO center at Kadena Air Force Base in Okinawa; becoming the first manager of Oregon's Medical Marijuana Program (really !!).
7) stayed (or gotten back) in touch with Laura Walker, Coleen Alexander Crews and Ken Crews, Yvonne Zamora Davis (I still miss her), Pat Gisch (I still miss him), Jeff Krump, Sally Melton, Steve Wentz, and Kevin Reinhart.
I'm looking forward to the 40th reunion........Kelly (Smith) Paige
