I have lived mostly in San Francisco, Berkeley and Monterey, CA and used

Institute of International Studies. I run language and MATESOL programs.
I have a 26 year old daughter and a 17-year old son.

It defined my career direction and changed my view of culture, especially
in the middle east. I would like to find people from my group. I know they
must be doing interesting things now. The saddest thing is that I haven't
been able to go back to Iran.
Anyone you are looking for or would like to hear from?:
anyone in my group or who lived in Tafresh.
