Janice's Story

16 June 2008 After moving around the New England area for a few years, I moved to jolly Old England 20 years ago with my husband. I'm enjoying single life again, having divorced him 10 years ago - I have no plans or aspirations to ever marry again! I'm too independent for that. I just take life as it comes and deal with it. I'm a Corporate Finance Partner in a large UK accounting firm in the middle of the country (The Midlands). That sector used to be called Merger and Acquisition and I still get a really big buzz from negotiating a deal between a buyer and seller and project managing it through to successful completion. I make my own hours, so it's up to me how much I want to do, but I'm currently seeking to build up a team to take over from me and hopefully, one day soon, do my own corporate disposal and sell them my partnership. I live about 4 miles from Althorpe Manor (Princess Di's ancestral home) and abour 45 miles from London. I've actively involved in Rotary, and though there is quite a bit of charity work involved through the Rotary, and have recently resigned my seat on the village council - too much governmental paperwork and juggling of work schedule vs council meetings! I also am a Director of a Northam...Expand for more
pton charity who raises funds for the 6th Ward of New Orleans It's the oldest black settlement in the US and right now, possibly the poorest. I became involved with this following Katrina when a local business man/musician saw his own neighborhood in New Orleans virtually wash away following the floods. We raised over $10,000 within a few nights featuring one of the most popular street bands from the New Orleans district. I have a lot of varied interests and for those of you who remember me from the past - I'm still singing! I kind of "guest spot" with an international rythum & blues and jazz band and for two years running was delighted to perform with two New Orleans jazz bands during their tours in Britian. To keep fit (and I am definitely not, but I try) I go to dance classes and take the occassional long walk into town. It's probably less mileage than I used to do in a normal school day, but it seems alot further NOW. This picture was taken last week after I briskly walked, rather than ran, a mini marathon for breast cancer. I did finish though! Yes, I was as tired as I looked, but I thought it was a pretty decent photo for a (ahem) 50ish year old. I wish you all well and will just say bye for now. 16 June 2008
