Spreading the Word Around the World

All it takes is for you to tell one person. Then for them to tell one person and so on and so on..... Before you know it our classmates across the land and around the world have heard the news.
Look at where the latest post comes from.............Jeff Palmer in Scotland.

Well I was directed to the blog by an email I received from Brennan McCurley, so thank you Brennan.

I never really thought of it as being almost twenty years until I started reading some of the postings. Now I really feel old!

Since leaving NHS I have lived somewhat of a nomadic life. I first trekked off to Houston Texas and attended the University of Houston where I, to the amazement of many, graduated with a degree in Hotel & Restaurant Management. After starting my career within the hotel industry I have moved, moved, and moved again. I have been with Marriott Hotels from just over 16 years now and my travels have taken this route; Houston, Washington DC, Orlando, San Francisco, Denver, Houston and now Glasgow Scotland. I am currently the Director of Operations at the Glasgow Marriott and this job keeps me BUSY. Even though I have moved quite a bit, I have been fortunate enough to live in some pretty cool places.

The down side to this is that you do lose touch with many people over time. I have kept in touch with Mike Shaw and he is currently living in Houston Texas.

I am currently married with one child. My wife's name is Grit and our son is Yonas. My wife is actually from Berlin Germany and we met in Houston. Our son is 3 years old and thank God he got his mom's looks and hopefully her intelligence as well.

So I guess I should get back to work now. Yes it's true hospitality hours are horrible, I am working on a Saturday night! I do hope to hear from some old friends. My email is jeffrey.palmer@marriotthotels.com,


Take care
Jeffrey A. Palmer
