1983

Pondering a career change? In the wake of GE's buyout of Kidder Peabody, Danny Goggin has reportedly been reassigned to selling side-by-side refrigerator freezers. Also trying something new and different, Mark Stein left his position with New Hampshire Senator Gordon Humphrey and is studying Turkish in preparation for his upcoming stint with the Foreign Service in Ankara.

Mark Weiss has jumped from Chemical to Citibank where he is now a personal banker. Anyone with more than $2 million in personal assets who needs advice should give him a call. Those with extra disposable income might also contact Peggy Gilges or Andrea Krahmer, both of whom work for Christies Auction House in New York. Peggy can be found in Art Noveau, and Andrea is an estate sales specialist. Also in New York is Rick Herrick. He and his bluegrass band perform every Thursday night at Rick's Lounge (no relation).
