Gihong is from Busan, South Korea. We met in 1986 while I was teaching in Seoul, and the rest is history! When we lived in Japan, she did translation, taught school, worked in IT, and helped run an import company, among other things. In the States, she'is now studying for some licenses in an entirely new field.
Kelly is a senior in high school this year. She used to play a lot of sports in Japan, but in the States she has spent more time studying and obsessing over universities. She's also started to play the guitar. When she was little, she was taking figure skating lessons, and you can still see a little video clip of her on ice by clicking here. Unless I've screwed this up, click on her mouth and she'll introduce herself.
Casey is a sophomore at the same high school. He's doing really well in the grades department - imagine how he could do if he didn't spend his life watching YouTube on his iPod Touch? Somehow he got away with not taking a trip down to the barber before his school pictures. Click on his mouth and you can hear what he sounded like before his voice changed.
