  • GDM-born in 1954, not so sure she's a Joneser!
    Jul 11 2024

    GDM was raised on a farm in western Illinois, spent years in the Peace Corps in various parts of Africa, married a fellow Peace Corps volunteer, and settled into a career in New Zealand over 30 years ago. She has dual U.S.-New Zealand citizenship. Born in 1954, the youngest of four, she feels like a solid Baby Boomer, not so much part of Generation Jones. Let's find out why.

  • Dan from Montana
    Mar 19 2024

    In this interview, I talk to Dan from Montana. Dan was born in South Dakota, moved a lot when he was a child, and lived most of his life in the American West. When he retired a few years ago, he and his wife set out to travel the world. Dan’s observations of life in the Western U.S. reveal an America that became more corporate and less personal, yet one which offered technological advancements that allow him to expand his horizons in the world.

  • Cheryl Green - Hamilton, New Zealand
    Jan 4 2024

    In this interview, I talk to Cheryl Green.  Cheryl is a recently retired referee of the Disputes Tribunal in Hamilton,  New Zealand.  She was born and raised in New Zealand to English parents who thought of themselves as working class.  She was told that people like them didn’t attend college.  Following a somewhat non-traditional path, she eventually got a college degree and became a lawyer.  I know Cheryl personally, and I find her to be extremely organized, enthusiastic, and fun.
