Mary Conway asked if I would let you know that we're already starting to plan our 20 th reunion next year, and that Mike Sapers and she have been volunteered to serve as cochairs of this sure-to-be-fantastic event. It won't be fantastic, of course, without the ideas, energy and participation of everyone, and Mary and Mike are welcoming anyone who wants to join the planning committee to do so. Contact either of them this summer at the following e-mail addresses: Mike is at msapers@sapers-wallack. com and Mary's at mtconway@att.net
Sherri Carroll Oberg is currently CEO of Acusphere, a venture-backed drug delivery company in Watertown, Massachusetts, that she founded nine years and $80 million ago. She is also a member of the board of overseers of Tuck School. Apparently she takes it seriously; she has just named her new black lab puppy Amos (as in "Tuck"). When not a champion of industry and academe, she is a mother to Ali (11) and Eric (9), who mercilessly bests her now in athletic competition. She keeps in touch with neighbors Eric Miller and Mary Renner.
By dint of their visit to Vail this March, I was able to gather updated information on some fellow '82s. Steve Schuh has left the world of investment banking after a surprisingly (to those of us who know him well) successful 15-year career in investment banking. He has dedicated himself to not finding anything else in investment
ment banking and has assured himself a positive outcome by not looking. As a criminal defense attorney at Day Berry & Howard, Andy Gaillard continues to keep white-collar criminals out of Americas grossly overcrowded prisons. He has moved up-neighborhood to Wilton, Connecticut, from neighboring Norwalk. John Froemming has escaped Alexandria, Virginia, for the suburban bliss of Bethesda, Maryland. John is a partner and litigator at Howrey Simon Arnold & White. As his decidedly natty wardrobe attested, he's not only Hugo Boss's American lawyer, he's one of their best customers.
David Cummings has received considerable attention and recognition for his research on obesity. His treatise on the hormone ghrelin and its role in appetite that was published in the NewEngland Journal of Medicine led him to appearances on NBC Nightly News and Good Morning America as well as coverage in Time, Newsweek and The WallStreet Journal. Rumor has it that McDonald's and Pizza Hut have offered David hundreds of millions of dollars to suspend his research and take up fishing. Eben Jones is newly married. Eben is moving markets in government securities for JP Morgan Chase. When not gambling on the direction of interest rates, he is gambling on the outcomes of his golf and paddle tennis games.
Derek Webb has launched the eponymous Webb Capital Management following a very successful fund management run at AIM/GT. He still resides in Marin County but was spending weekends toiling on a 100-plus-year-old home in Mendocino County.
Dan McEvoy recently garnered some press in the Putnam County News for holding forth on whether there can ever be accounting and governance standards we can trust in a post-Enron world. Until recently Dan was the head of U.S. emerging debt markets trading at Deutsche Bank.
Witnesses suspect Martha Solis-Tumer is training for the Torino Olympics in '06. She has been seen doing sowcows, or a very distant relative thereof, at University of Denver's ice rink.
The Soane back office added one head this winter with the addition of Declan Kevin Rockwell Soane, class of 24.
