1986

Jim Foster has just released a new CD from his band Vision Thing. The self-titled debut can be picked up at your local Tower Records, and caps Jim's long, successful career in the Boston/New York rock scene. One of Jim's longtime loyal followers, Jon Anderson (who also provided all this great information), continues advising clients about transportation/energy and environmental issues. In the past year Jon has spoken at conferences about unfunded mandates, alternative fuels, and transportation/air-quality computer modeling.

Arid an interesting e-mail from Michael O'Flynn '91, who writes: "Victor Paul is very humble—but I think folks need to know what he's up to 10 years later. Victor was influential in setting me up with a sweet job here in Moscow. After a Wharton M.B.A. and a highly successful career in Eastern European investment at Morgan Grenfell in London, Victor recently moved to Russia in order to become director of Inkom Bank Capital Markets. He recently married a beautiful Finnish girl named Eija and has a dog named Fred (Clint, the old Beta dog, would be jealous). Victor was known as a legend to all following Beta generations and indeed Wooglin would be proud of our beer-ponging, Copenhagen-dipping, zoom-playing escapades here on the Siberian tundra." Jim Gill writes, "Returned from a two-year stint in the Peace Corps in Cameroon, West Africa, in 1991. A year after returning, married a woman I met while in Peace Corps. She was also in Cameroon. Went to Kellogg and got a master's in management in 1994. Have worked at Intel in Albuquerque doing finance in their flagship water-fabrication plant. Over the summer we had a baby boy. Leaving tomorrow for a house-hunting trip to Penang, Malaysia, where I'll be working (still with Intel) for the next 18 months."

And some quick tidbits on a few of our friends: Good news from Rod Rogers. He graduated last year from medical school and is now doing a residency in Urology and UCSF. Brien Jacobsen has joined the litigation group at Graham and James, a law firm in Seattle. Brien graduated from NYU Law School in 1991. Dave Lampert recently e-mailed, "my wife and I are expecting any day now, and I'll send you a real message, like for the Class Notes, after I can report on that news." Maryly Culley was married in March. Scott Rabschnuk just started a new advertising job at Anderson Lembke in San Francisco.
