EMP-24's
10th Reunion |
EMP-24
It was
great seeing so many of you at the 10-year reunion. The cocktails
and dinner served as a nice background for renewing old acquaintances.
Unfortunately several classmates who had planned to be there
were unable to attend. In the tradition of EMP-24, however,
we did not let that dampen our spirits.

EMP-24's
10th Reunion |
| |
|
The list
of attendees includes Mark Bagnoli, Suzette Broome, Eileen
Clune, David Cole, Kathleen Donahue, Joe Feldman, Vaughn Gordy,
Bill Graham, Leslie Johnson, Lou Kacyn, Bill Kaczinski, Mike
Krueger, Ann McLaughlin, Paul Meyer, Judy Plummer, Greg Powell,
Barb Rubenstein, Bob Ryan, Mike Silverman, Nandu Thondavadi,
Jean Thompson, Bill White and Robert Van Osten. We were also
joined by Erica Kantor and her husband. Several "significant
others" were there as well including Peg Paoni who was
filling in for Tony Paoni. Tony was recovering from surgery
and pneumonia. (More about Tony in a moment.) We all enjoyed
the facts, embellishments and tall tales that surfaced as
we recalled events from 10 to 12 years ago. Nandu proved that
his memory is as impeccable as ever and Leslie needs to share
some of the water she took from the fountain of youth. Ann's
voice remains unmistakable and Dr. Paul still looks like a
million bucks in a suit. One of the
highlights of the evening was our trip to the "bar".
Mark Bagnoli was the inspirational leader on that particular
quest. By the end of the evening it was clear that the spirit
of EMP-24 was alive and well.
Special
thanks to Anne McLaughlin for her assistance in last minute
activity coordination.
Tony
Paoni should be back to work by July following his unexpected
visit to the hospital for major surgery in May. Work for Tony
includes two occupations. In April 2001 he joined DiamondCluster
as vice chairman and partner for the worldwide strategy and
technology company. They are a Chicago-based company with
14 offices located across the nation. Tony had been associated
with DiamondCluster as a "fellow" for six years.
Tony's other job is that of EMP professor in the area of strategy
and technology. He likes the opportunity to teach and practice
the same disciplines. |
