Bonnie's Story

Life For those of you who know me, I am been able to spend most of career doing the things I like most, traveling, meeting new people and experiencing new adventures. My job in purchasing has allowed me the good fortune to have lived in many areas both in the US and overseas. As some of you know, I started at Wayne State and ending up graduating from Washington State University with a degree in Clothing and Textiles. As some might suspect, I ended up in Washington State, where I had been stationed in the Army for two years, in the Seattle-Tacoma area. To make a long story short, I married and divorced while living in the Pacific Northwest. Over the years, I have been a department store buyer, owner of a screen printing business in Prague, Czech Republic, consultant - primarily with small businesses and some work in Eastern Europe after the wall came down in the early 90's. For the past 10 years I have worked in Supply Chain Management in manufacturing. Presently as a Global Commodity Manager, I get to do more of more favorite things, negotiate and travel. I had the good fortune of spending a year recently on special assignment for my company in China. The majority of family stills lives in the greater Detroit area, although I have siblings in Boston, Seattle and Tampa. While I started out wanting to be an archaeologist, I still keep in avid interest in the subject.

litics and just general information. I look forward to the opportunity to catch up you all in the future. Took an early retirement in September 2006. To make the transition from workaholic, I thought I would be become a "travelaholic" starting with a return to Europe for three months. Time to visit those places we only dream about or see pictures of in the movies or TV. Knowing that I will probably not really retire, I am thinking about starting my own small internet import-export company. Afterall, I should be able to find a few suppliers in my wanderings. 2009 Update - couldn't quite retire as originally planned and ended up moving to Georgia for my last job. Just took retirement again and am actively setting up the business that I thought about in 2006. Still not sure where I'll finally settle, but am considering the idea of being able to live in two places, one overseas and one in the US. Have my laptop with me, so I'll be able to stay in touch. UPDATE - NOVEMBER 2013 - Still traveling - heading to Europe again in the end of January 2014 and plan on spending at least 3 months in Rome, then travel through the Southern Mediterranean before heading to the UK and Ireland in June. I am very active with genealogy research and will spend time in southern Bavaria and Ireland working on the family tree, as if I need an excuse for traveling. Anyone interested in meeting up with me if you're traveling in Europe, let me know - great way to have lunch or dinner.
