(Apr. 24, 2011) The Sister Cities Council is pleased to have a new person serving as the liaison between the council and the Japanese students on the OSU campus. Her name is Naho Timson and she works as the Senior Administrative Assistant in the International Students and Scholars Office. Naho is a native of Japan where she grew up in the city of Kakogawa in Hyogo Prefecture that borders Kyoto Prefecture, where Kameoka is located, on the west. Kakogawa is less than forty miles from the city of Kobe and Naho was awakened early one morning when she was a young girl by the violent earthquake that devastated Kobe in 1995 causing thousands of deaths. Naho, who is the oldest of three children, came to OSU in 2001 as a member of the National Collegiate Network (NCN) class of 2001. She graduated in 2005 with a BS in Environmental Science. She and Ray Timson, an OSU student from Oologah, married in 2007. They are the proud parents of a one year son named Koji. Both Naho and Ray play musical instruments and enjoy playing together. Ray will graduate with his MS this spring and will be employed at OSU so we’re hopeful they will be in Stillwater for many years. In closing, the Sister Cities Council wishes each of you a very Happy Easter.
