1990

I scribe this column, as the snow lingers on the ground, with strong anticipation of a fast-approaching spring. I hope you have more than survived the winter wherever life finds you!

We heard exciting news from London-based Brooks Preston about employment changes and new opportunities. He writes, "Big change for me—Friday [January 18] was my last day with British Petroleum. I have enjoyed the past five years at BP, learned a lot and had the privilege to work with extremely dedicated people, especially with the alternative energy businesses. However, I've decided to move a little further 'beyond petroleum.' Beginning in February I will join Wolfensohn & Cos., a firm founded by Jim Wolfensohn, formerly of the World Bank. My focus will be on clean energy private equity investing in emerging markets—a sector that has enormous growth potential, great investment opportunities and the chance to make a material impact on climate change—all this underpinned by the unique access and perspective that Wolfensohn & Cos can provide. I am really looking forward to it."

Peter Siskind and Judi Cassel are deeply entrenched in the Fairmount section of Philadelphia, as they have been for more than a dozen years Judi continues to work in public policy; her new job in the administration of recently inaugurated Mayor Michael Nutter is as chief of staff to the city's finance director. Peter is an assistant professor of history and director of the international studies program at Arcadia University. They have two kids—7-year-old son Leo and 3-year-old daughter Rebecca.

After numerous primaries, caucuses and candidate debates the class of 1990 has formally elected Mike Kanarick to be our class representative to the Colleges Alumni Council. He shared the following at an election night party in downtown Burlington, Vermont: "Thank you very much for electing me as our class representative to the Alumni Council. I look forward to serving all of you and giving back to the College that has given us so much. I plan to seek your input, listen to your thoughts, share your ideas and concerns with the council and report back to you. I am excited about the opportunity to work with our class to play a role in making our amazing College an even better place. Please feel free to contact me at michael.d.kanarick.90@alum. dartmouth.org or (802) 324-4296—to discuss the Dartmouth issues on your mind or if you ever need a place to stay while visiting Burlington, Vermont." We are pleased to have Mike representing us and encourage you to contact him with your feedback.

Our empty mailbag and inboxes await your updates. We look forward to hearing from you soon and are grateful for all who take the time to inform us of their travails.
