Guest: Paul Frost, Foreign Commercial Service Officer, US Department of Commerce, Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Tracie Frost, Student of Accounting, Florida Atlantic University, Boca Raton It’s a rare American family that has the opportunity to uproot and move overseas to live and work. It’s an even rarer family that accepts a long-term post to a place unlike home in every imaginable way. India was that place for Paul and Tracie Frost who had never lived abroad as a family before Paul left his banking job in North Carolina to join the foreign commercial service and took an assignment in New Delhi. Their four kids were 2, 6, 9 and 12 years of age. Paul and Tracie Frost have just returned from two and a half years living and working with their family in India and are now living in Florida.
