Global objects in VB.NET - Static doesn't work

I realize that if I want a global VARIABLE, I can DIM a session
variable in global.asa. I.e.

Static oCurrentPerson As New Person()
in the Session_Start routine) but attempting to access
Session("oCurrentPerson").PersonId does not work in a form's
code-behind, because it is an object, not a variable (unable to access
PROPERTIES of the object variable).

How I declare and use a global OBJECT in VB.NET?

Details:
I created a Person class. This class has many properties and methods.
The code-behind of my Login form has
Static oCurrentPerson As New Person() 'HOW DO I MAKE THIS GLOBAL?
iLogonResult = oCurrentPerson.Login
If iLogonResult <> -1 Then
Response.Redirect("homepage.aspx")
End If

But oCurrentPerson is not recognized inside of homepage.aspx, even
though I declared it as Static in my Login form.

How can I declare a global OBJECT and use it throughout my
application?
