John's Story
Graduated from MSU in 1966. Went to Cornell to do a Ph.D. in Anthropology. Met and married Ruth in 1969, then went off to honeymoon doing fieldwork for my dissertation. Taught for a while. Was young and stupid, didn't get tenure. Ruth brought us (her, me, daughter Kate, then 3 and 1/2) to Japan in 1980. Wound up spending thirteen years as an English-language copywriter and creative director for Hakuhodo, Japan's second largest ad agency. Never lost the academic bug, though. Started writing and publishing again around 1989. Big...Expand for more
gest project to date was Japanese Consumer Behavior: From Worker Bees to Wary Shoppers (U. of Hawaii Press, 2000).
Left Hakuhodo and joined Ruth as a partner in The Word Works, Ltd in 1996. Meanwhile daughter Kate grew up, won an appointment to Annapolis, became a Navy helicopter pilot, married a Marine Corps jet fighter jock. Is now out of the Navy, the mother of our two grandkids (Keeegan 3, Fiona 1) and will be moving to Boston this fall to start an MA in Public Policy at the Kennedy School at Harvard. Proud father? You bet.
