I stay busy in Atlanta, play in three tennis leagues, and keep up with four book clubs between trips to California. My son returned in February from his deployment aboard the USS John C. Stennis and was home two months before returning to sea. These trips are a strain on the family. Few understand the sacrifice our military men and women make! My daughter and family live three hours from my son’s family, so I see both on my frequent trips west, visited both in February, and planned to return for Easter, when we all were to get together at my daughter’s San Jose, Calif., home. In March, I left cold Atlanta for a week in West Palm Beach, Fla., with my brother and his wife.

Janet Burnett Morrison has published books on the global business environment, including her latest, The Global Business Environment, Third Edition, that are used as college-MBA textbooks in the U.S. and several other countries.

Janet and husband Ian moved to France two years ago and planned to move again, to a house with a larger garden. Margaret “Meg” Cobourn John, who grew up in the Syracuse, N.Y., area, enjoyed a mild winter in Myrtle Beach, S.C.
