Fondren, Marnie
"Even the most successful 'business vagabonds' seek to put down roots for their families," says the author.
The Fondrens lived in their sixth home in twelve years when their first child was born. Marnie Fondren worked as an IBM systems engineer for several years before retiring "joyfully."
Her husband, Bill, was a 19-year IBM veteran who worked more than 60 hours a week.
"We were in our sixth home in twelve years," Marnie recalls. "And we knew that Bill would be moved again in a few more years."
Even the most successful 'corporate vagabonds' reach a point in their lives when they wish to establish roots for their families.
After much deliberation, we came to the conclusion that this firm could be the answer to our desire to no longer be forced to relocate.
He recovered control of 60 hours a week of his life once Bill and I achieved our individual objectives.
With their children, Bill and Marnie created beautiful memories, including time spent at their Canadian lakeside home, fishing, and watching sunsets together.
"This is a family business in which we have made so many wonderful friends," Bill says of his new career.
When we learnt that Bill was suffering from a medical condition for which there was no solution, we were affected by the prayers of a large number of people who cared about him.
It was the most effective treatment available for Bill. It is a magnificent legacy of integrity and a strong attitude that he has left behind."
