Pam and her husband Jim have been married 42 years. They
have no children. They are currently living in Macedonia, a
former Yugoslav republic. Their earliest overseas home was in
China from 1983 to 1985. Postings to Hong Kong (5 years),
Singapore (5 years) Egypt (2 years), Jordan (2 years) then to
Columbia (2000-2002) have kept them on their toes. Pam
managed to fit in a summer in Mexico fine tuning her Spanish.
She has also had to learn a little Chinese (Mandarin), Arabic, and
Macedonian.
After 1994, between foreign postings, Pam and Jim lived in
Washington D. C. then moved to Burlington, Vermont, where they
have a home today. They also have three rentals in Green
Valley, Arizona, which require many visits from Pam to keep on
top of things. It seems Pam is always flying from one place to
another, often to distant places half way around the world. There
has been little time to spend in the Vermont home as of late.
The primary reason Pam enjoys living overseas is she has many
opportunities to travel to countries near her foreign home at the
time, both with Jim and on her own. Macedonia, for example, is
surrounded by 7 different countries. Over the years, Pam has
seen over one hundred countries first hand. She and Jim are
blessed with good health and plan to see even more countries.
Traveling to learn about foreign cultures and places is Pam’s
passion.
Interior decorating is another “hobby” of hers. The only room
remaining to upgrade in her Vermont home is the kitchen. When
she is more than two months in one place, she will take on that
project!
Pam taught the primary grades and/or served in administrative
positions in the States for 17 years. Her most challenging
educational contribution however was founding and running the
American School of Guangzhou, China in the early 80’s. She has
many a story to tell from that truly memorable experience! She
has been retired from teaching since 1989.
Pam’s husband wants to retire in the near future. At that time,
they will be residing both in Vermont and Arizona, unless
something absolutely intriguing comes along that will entice them
once again to move away from their stateside homes.
