Open to Adventure

Getting downsized is no fun at all, unless you have the Deborah Kobus perspective on things. Ever since her days at New Utrecht High School in Brooklyn, she was the sort who knew how to cheer herself up, lately by sailing to Tahiti or going skiing in Argentina.

So her response to getting abruptly fired during the economic downturn just over a year ago was to jump into her Ford Explorer and drive to Colorado, figuring the skiing would be great. Work would take care of itself. It always did. She walked into the St. Regis Hotel, arguably the best ski hotel in Aspen, and walked out with a switchboard job that left weekends free for skiing and who knows what else?

The what else was meeting the man who would become her fiancé, Alexander Setzler, who also worked at the hotel.

When the skiing ended, Ms. Kobus, 36, returned to New York to help her brother, Robert, care for their mother, who has Alzheimer's disease.

She soon found a job on Wall Street, as assistant vice president at Chuo Mitsui Trust and Banking Company, on the 83rd floor of 2 World Trade Center. On Labor Day, Mr. Setzler proposed, successfully. Ms. Kobus planned to tell her mother and brother the happy news the following week.

Onward and upward, my dear friend. ♥

Here we are again. My thoughts are usually positive when I think of you and your kindness. You made a positive mark in this world and you are still here today in spirit. For that I am thankful but today is also filled with sadness and anger. I will try to think god thoughts today. Your kindness will always be remembered.

Never forgotten Deb.Remembering the good old Sun Life family.We had a good time.

So many years later and think of you everyday at some point. Always knew when to offer a kind word to someone who needed it. Thinking about random times when you did that. I miss you
