Tyrone Bird has been appointed assistant treasurer of Texaco Inc. in Houston, Tex. He will be responsible for the treasury management activities for Texaco's worldwide exploration and production. He is not, as far as we can tell, responsible for the steady rise in gasoline prices at the pumps since last summer. After Dartmouth Tyrone played professional football with The Green Bay Packers as a wide receiver. After earning an M.B.A. from the University of Chicago in 1977, he spent 12 years in the banking industry. He joined Texaco in 1990 where in positions of increasing responsibility he's handled the company's financial activities in the refining and marketing areas.

Bob Soltess, the senior financial manager for the International Space Station program at NASA Headquarters, Washington, D.C., has received the agency's prestigious Exceptional Achievement Award for his role in helping NASA manage its station budget over the past two years. The station program is NASA's largest and most complex development program with an annual budget of more than $2 billion. As we know, it takes a lot more than the "Home Improvement" formula of "duct tape and more power" to keep a space station going. Bob holds a M.P.A. from Seattle University and worked at Boeing before joining NASA in 1980. Bill Symonds is now working in Boston for Business Week. Bill was for several years a European correspondent for the financial magazine.

Like the New York Yankees (but not like the Boston Red Sox) investment advisor Bob Glovsky continues to stay at the top of his profession.

Bob is president of Mintz Levin Financial Advisors, LL.C., in Boston that provides financial planning and investment advisory services to individuals and families. Financial Planning magazine recently profiled Bob and named him one of the "Ten Best Star Planners." He co-hosts "The Financial Planners" on MediaOne cable television and is the director of Boston University's Program for Financial Planners, one of the largest certified financial planner programs in the country.
