2024 is a big milestone year for me. I turned 80, my wife Marie-Josée reaches 75, and it marks 30 years since we got married. Our wedding day is tied with the births of my three children as the best days of my life.
She was a prominent economist in Canada, and we became acquainted in 1991. We were both married at that time. But our relationship deepened in 1993 when fate reunited us at the Bilderberg Meeting in Vouliagmeni, a seaside suburb south of Athens in Greece. It was a part of the annual series of private meetings of political leaders and experts from industry, finance, academia, and the media.
