After 30 years, I was just alerted to the website by my circle of high school friends whom I stay in close touch with.  They include Kim Ourant Halsey. Please insert the my bio as follows. I also have a photo to add to the Then & Now section.  

After going on to OSU, I taught in China for a year in 1980.  I moved back to take up a Masters in Public Policy at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government.  I married an OSU classmate from our old nemesis Massillon and we moved to the Silicon Valley and later to Chicago.  I started my career in banking there while obtaining an MBA at the University of Chicago.  During the 1990s I split with my first husband and moved to Hong Kong, where I lived and worked for 11 years.  I specialize in investing equity in privatized infrastructure – power plants, roads, airports etc.  I have been a Director for $1 billion investment funds and a senior executive for a British firm, investing in China, Southeast Asia, and Australia.  Along the way I got very fluent in Chinese and married a musician and composer from Shanghai. Right around 9/11, I moved to London to become Chief Financial Officer of an international airports company.  I am now working in international infrastructure investment again, with a leading European bank. My work and my hobby both involve travel.  We enjoy going off to countries we haven’t been to before, and getting in some history, art, good food & wine, and the odd bit of skiing.  Didn’t know about the reunion in time to make plans to come to it – I guess the 30th anniversary has crept on on me – and I am traveling on holiday in Zimbabwe, Botswana and South Africa at that time.  But it was great to see what our classmates have been up to, and how we’ve all changed – matured, to put it nicely – since 1975.  Love the T-shirt.  Hope you all have a good time at the reunion.
