Nicole replaces Todd Lockhart 1977 as Treasurer and Helen takes over as Director of Class Representatives, replacing Tom Reynolds 1969. When you see them at the reunion, please give them a warm welcome. Here is some "getting to know you" information about both of them:

Nicole Petschulat '83

NICOLE

• Where were you born? Luedenscheid, Germany
• Where do you call home? Currently Residing in Fairfield, Connecticut
• Status of your siblings and class years? My older brother, Michael Petschulat (class of 80), is currently residing in New Jersey and works as a Manager for Med-Apparell, a division of Unitex. My younger brother, Oliver Petschulat (class of 84), lives in Georgsmarienh�tte, Germany and works as a computer consultant for IBM.
• What did you do right after you left ISB? Moved to New York to complete High School/College
• First Job? While in High School I worked at Caldor's.
• What have you done since completing your schooling? I have always been very comfortable with numbers so I have worked in Accounting/Finance since 1987, the majority of that time was in the Leasing Industry. I have 3 children ages 21, 19 and 10.
• When did you first attend an ISB Network event? Virginia 2010
• What brings you back to subsequent reunions? I have only attended one reunion so far, but have to say, that there is very little that can hold me back from attending future reunions. I had such a great time and feel I made some life long connections.
• Closing remarks...  Joining the ISB Network and now serving as Treasurer of the organization is a commitment I take very seriously. I look forward to assisting in the preparation of many reunions to come and meeting even more people from a school I am very happy I once attended. Bangkok was my home for 4 years and the most difficult for me to leave.

Helen Tinson '85

HELEN

• Where were you born? - Al-Khobar, Saudi Arabia
• Where do you call home? Toronto, Ontario...but happily residing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
• Status of your siblings and class years? My brother, Peter Tinson, is 2 years younger (class of 87!). He is currently owner and Executive Chef of The Gallery Bistro in Springfield, Missouri
• What did you do right after you left ISB? Moved to the States to attend university.
• First Job? In college I worked at a Hallmark store in "the mall." UGG! But it prepared me well for my career in public relations.
• What have you done since completing your schooling? How much time do we have?  :) I work for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in public affairs.  Specifically, I work on emergency response communications (like hurricanes!), risk communications and community involvement and outreach.
• When did you first attend an ISB Network event? The Long Beach, CA Reunion...was that 1998?
• What brings you back to subsequent reunions? Are you kidding?! Everything! It's been an absolute joy to re-connect with friends from 25 years ago and become friends with so many wonderful people from the classes before us!
• Closing remarks... No matter where you go or what you do in life, there remains the undeniable tie that binds us all...ISB and our "other" home, Thailand. It's in our hearts and souls forever and has contributed profoundly to who we are today.
