1978

By the time you read this, Thanksgiving will be around the corner although as I write this, it is full summer. The dearth of news would suggest that all of you are enjoying summer vacations.

Meanwhile, Jacquie Kaiko writes that having "joined Chemical Bank in September '78, I'm coming up on my 20-year anniversary(!!!) with the bank, which became 'Chase' after Chemical acquired Chase in April '96. I am an SVP in middle market banking and have a great job. I do two things: manage a group that provides international product sales and service support for small and medium-sized companies in the Northeast and a team that manages die bank's global relationship with the United Nations, U.N. agencies, and multilateral organizations. I see fellow '78s Rose Gasner, Marty Altemus, and Mary Lou Teel. Rose is a lawyer for the NYC Department of Health Tuberculosis Bureau and is expecting her second child; Lou is a producer at CBS; and Marty is a high-powered shrink here in the City. I live in North Stamford (Conn.) with my husband and three feline dependents in an antique house."
