Lesley's Story
Like many of us, the almost 50 years since graduating from East have brought both "ups" and "downs", but mostly "ups."
After earning a degree in education and German, I never used either. A bit later I earned an MBA, but never ended up going into business either. By chance a different opportunity crossed my path and I took it. I ended up working for the last 30 years in international development (clearly I didn't follow the "directions" re degrees and career paths! ) I have never regretted the decision. Nice way to see the world while your employer pays the way. Have loved experiencing how much of the rest of the world, especially those in poor developing countries...Expand for more
, live. And meanwhile got to see Paris, Amsterdam, London, etc. along the way.
Was married for almost 40 years to my high school sweetheart, but divorced 6 years ago. I have a wonderful daughter and son and three dear grandchildren. That coupled with a great job (might I retire next May???) and interesting colleagues, and a large circle of dear friends, and a very busy life.... It is no surprise I still believe life is good!
We'll see what the next chapter brings. More good experiences in store is my bet.
Hope life has been and continues to be good for the rest of you as well.

P.s. to this day, I have remained close friends with Karen Katz also of '65
