1974

News in the form of corporate press announcements arrived in the box this month. Connecticut Life Insurance Company sends word that Glenn Burdick has been appointed assistant investment officer, planning and support department, in investment operations at Connecticut General. Glenn's interpretation of this title: "I manage commercial properties!" He has been with the company since receiving his M.B.A. from Northwestern University in 1976. Glenn also spends some time on community affairs, most notably as a member of Simsbury (Conn.) Junior Achievement.

Jim Regan was also featured in a corporate news release from his new employer, F.M.C. Corporation.

Prior to joining F.M.C., he had been director of international organizations services at International Business-Government Counsellors, Inc.

Working an Alumni Fund telethon in February produced some very heartening results for the Fund and a number of pages of notes for this column. John Barbor continues to practice law in Indiana, Pa., and works in amateur theater in his spare time. John reports that recently his group has performed "a little Shakespeare and Galdoni," and that after years of being stuck playing character roles he fears "being typecast as a romantic lead." It's probably due to that new beard John is sporting! He is also the new owner of a condominium. John reports seeing Pete '75 at Pete's wedding and wonders, "Whatever happened to Tom Berdeja?"

Jan Kublick is still practicing law in Syracuse, N.Y., where some of his deals involve Cliff Ennico '75. Jan continues to reside in Tully, but has left the Blue Hole and has moved closer to the center of town. His wife Susan is a graduate student in photography at Syracuse University. Jan hears from Kevin Fitzgerald and his wife Chris. Kevin is temporarily living in Washington, D.C., practicing law in the new D.C. office of Foley, Hoag & Eliot, a Boston firm. Jan also reports that the ever-elusive BillBeck is in a training program with G.T.E. which will take him all over the map. Bill, if you do happen to read this, let us know where you are!

Frank and Catharine Cole are new parents as of February with the addition of a son, Brian.

Bruce Cooper will also be returning to the north country soon. Upon completion of his residency in internal medicine in Cooperstown, N.Y., Bruce plans to spend two years completing a fellowship in endocrinology at the Mary Hitchcock Medical Center in Hanover. That kind of good fortune could make many a classmate turn Green with envy!
