EMP-46

Jose Martinez submitted the following "censored" report from the holiday party: "Thanks to Patrick Spencer for sponsoring the party at his latest venture, Trader Vic's. The place is beautiful, the service was impeccable and the food was delectable. A number of classmates we haven't seen in a while made the scene. Darrin Reilly made a guest appearance, leaving southern California for the cold Midwest just to be with everyone. Chris Quatrochi came down from the north woods of Michigan. MaryAnn Lusk happens to live in the building, so she didn't have as far to go, and Melissa Siebert was there as well. John Giuliani was sporting a new hairstyle down to his shoulders. People wondered who the teenager was crashing our party. Then there was Dick Hulseman who looked exactly as we remembered him. Michael Thompson is now into spirits, and doing well in spite of the recession. Also appearing was Brigitte Landis who has a new cool and colorful venture. Becky Brubaker continues to expand her impact at the Tribune.

Mike Jakolat has joined the group, Dave Susalla is as jolly as ever and is still very passionate about Tatum, Paul Herring continues to lead at Grant Thornton and Peter Zaleski is always on the move. On the corporate front, Chris Lolli is conquering the world at American Express, and Darrell Jackson is also expanding his efforts at Northern Trust. Paul Nelson is going crazy sitting at a desk instead of the pit for Iowa Grain. Greg Calloway promised to have a Northwestern football party at his place next season. As always, Alan Burack made the party a success."
