Stephen Auburn EMP-47

EMP-47

J. T. Weis is the president of Brake and Wheel Ends Group at Marmon Highway Technologies, a Berkshire Hathaway Company and lives in Grand Rapids, Mich.

Several class members attended the annual EMP-47 holiday lunch in December that is faithfully organized each year by Matt Gresge. The tradition has remained the same for the past 10 years with the date always the Friday before Christmas and the location always the Berghoff. Everyone caught up over lunch about changes in lives and careers and hopes for seeing many of our classmates at our upcoming class reunion in April.

As unbelievable as it seems, this spring will mark our 10-year anniversary of graduation and our class reunion. Please join us for the weekend's festivities including a party for EMP-47 on April 29 at the Allen Center. Your reunion committee of Bruce Johnson, Jeff Swallow, Bo Kemper, Matt Gresge, Andy Shafter and I (Lois Haubold) have been working hard to contact everyone, organize the details of the weekend and plan an unforgettable EMP-47 party.
