Christina Macias (Brister)
I began my migration by spending several years in Geneva, first with the World Health Organization, then working
for Chrysler International and Lockheed International as executive secretary. These were indeed interesting times,
spanning the mid- '60s to early '70s. My thirst for travel then took me to Michigan, USA, followed, after 8 years, by a
cross-country drive, solo, to Southern California. Here I met my husband, Al, a park ranger. We married in 1977,
bought a ranch-style house in San Juan Capistrano, and raised three cats, a desert tortoise, and many birds both
wild and domesticated.A visit to Hawaii in the mid '80s convinced me that this was my true destination. I began to study Hawaiian culture
and history, and still dance the hula with a local halau. Al and I have hopes of moving to Molokai one of these fine
days. My visits to England are, alas, infrequent due to the expense (and the horribly long and uncomfortable journey). All
of my family are still there, though only one aunt and uncle still live in West Bridgford. I am so glad to have found this site. Thank you, John B, for filling in the blanks on our form picture.

I've just retired after a career in business finance - 30+ years with
Barclays in the West Midlands and then running my own business finance
consultancy for 10 years. Now I'm Group Chairman of one of our local
housing associations, The Community Housing Group, so I shan't have too much
time on my hands.
Married to Lesley for 36 years, with two grown up daughters, we live in
Stourbridge, on the edge of the Black Country. My interests are music,
theatre, walking, history (particularly industrial), France etc etc

After studying Physics at Birmingham University and doing research at Nottingham University I
worked at the Government Research Laboratory at Malvern, then called the Royal Signals and
Radar Research Laboratory. The most satisfying period was when I invented an obscure little
device that nearly everyone's television set contains but I only ever got one dollar for the invention
(American patent law insisted on at least that much for the inventor)! Everything billions of people watch has had to
go through that little device. Is that good or bad!?!
After Malvern (in 1979) the taxpayer paid for my family to enjoy living in Japan for two years at the
British Embassy where I was Science and Technology Counselor. That was an amazing
experience, Japan was then exploding onto the world technology scene and my three children
mixed with 60 nationalities in the international schools there.
We then came home and I worked for Plessey, then GEC, then Colt. I retired in 1998 and live in the
New Forest with my wife Pat, 10 beehives, 17 chickens, a cat called Albert and too many computers.
I still read lots of physics and electronics books. My hero is Richard Dawkins.
