I happened to google my name today and came upon an article from Susan Farmer (whom I actually remember) about a British School reunion and I even saw my class photo. My name is Rui M. N. Forcada and I was a part of Class 7 in 1977. Today I live in Weston, South Florida and am a Senior Vice- President with HSBC Private Bank International in Miami. I have been married for sixteen years and have a seven yearold son. My history: My father was transferred to New York and we settled in a small town in Upstate NY called Scarsdale. I finished high school at Edgemont High School and went on to college at Fordham University in New York where I graduated with a degree in Marketing and a minor in French. I then began employment at Citibank in New York and later went back to Fordham University, in the evenings, for a Masters Degree in Finance. I moved to South Florida in October of 1989 and have lived here ever since. In December of 1991, I married my wife, Adiela, and nine years later we adopted a little three year old from Manizales, Colombia – our son, Luis Eduardo. We are joined by Mr. Wiggles, our family beagle. Today we live in Weston, Florida, where I am a Senior Vice-President in the Brazil Team with HSBC Private Bank International. My work takes me to Brazil (primarily São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro) about six times a year and my last trip for this year will be the first week of December. I bumped into Christopher Langen, also from my class and pictured in the photograph in TAABS website, some two years ago. He lives in Key Biscayne, South Florida.
