EMP-40

FIDO kept up its tradition of a Christmas get together this past holiday season with dinner at Wild Fire in Glenview. Mark Zurcher and Ben Randazzo were out of town, but the rest of gang were in fine spirits.

Tim McGarrity accepted a position with Robert Charles Lesser, a real-estate advisory firm. Tim will be heading the creation of a new practice, the federal advisory services group. His new office is in downtown Bethesda, Md., just a few miles from home.

	The FIDOs enjoy a Christmas get-together with Jeff (EMP-40)and Sarah Barker, Greg (EMP-40) and Karla Irving, Dave (EMP-40) and MichelleBungum, Ray (EMP-40) and Lynn Siegel and Rich (EMP-40) and Susan Daly.

While enjoying the beauty of western Colorado, Zoe Larkin is now working for Gordon Composites, a composite manufacturer supplying a world-wide customer base. They supply about 95 percent of the archery industry with bow limbs, as well as Herman Miller with springs for their chairs and sail battons for world class sailboats. It's quite a diverse and interesting industry. They also have a start-up subsidiary, Polystrand, which manufactures thermoplastic composite material with applications in the trucking, rail and military areas.

Ray Siegel taught an international corporate finance course at Nicholas Copernicus University in Poland earlier this year. It is an EMP-type program sponsored by the E.U.

Planning for our class' 10-year reunion is underway. Overwhelming response from many in the class was to do a reunion weekend in September, with golf, a football game, tailgate and dinner party. Ray Siegel also plans to host a get-together for everyone at his home on the actual 10-year anniversary of our graduation, Dec 12. Stay tuned, much more information will be sent to everyone soon for these fun events.

Still missing: Bert Allen, Vance Lancaster, Brian McInerney, Joan Boomsma, Barb Dean-Hendricks, John Rutter, Dharmendra Sahay and Rom Nowacki. If anyone knows how to get in touch with these folks, please let Dave know.
