Attention
Class of EMP-39:
If you are interested in learning more about your first reunion,
please call Katie Taylor at 847.491.3348 or k-taylor@kelloog.northwestern.edu.
Hello,
EMP-39ers. It has been a year since I submitted an entry —
sorry for dropping the ball. I could give you all the excuses
(held in Guantanamo Bay for questioning, abducted by aliens,
etc), but in any case I am back! I ask that all fellow EMP-39ers
send me your contact information and an update on your life
to me. Time to get reconnected!

The
Wulf family lives in Wisconsin, and I work for Cardinal Health
as an operational excellence deployment leader. What that
translates to is I work with four different business units
helping them understand and utilize the Lean Six Sigma tools
to improve their results. It certainly helps that the directive
is coming from the top, CEO Kerry Clarke, but Cardinal Health
is transitioning for a holding company to an operating company
and cultural change is always an interesting challenge.
Pedro
M. Ferreira (Dr. Pete) is alive and kicking and provided
the following update:
"My
wife, Margaret, retired from State of Delaware service as
of Jan. 1, 2005. She is doing a lot of church work and enjoying
taking U. of D. courses.
"My
practice is doing quite well. I've been an adjunct at the
University College component of Widener University (Chester,
Pa.) for more than eight years. Have won 'Outstanding Faculty
Award' in both 2004 and 2007. I was nominated by my dean for
the Outstanding Faculty award of the University College Education
Association (Mid-Atlantic region) and received an award letter,
just two weeks ago. Have two cats: Paco (boy) and Stryker
(girl). Office is in the home (mostly for psychotherapy patients,
I see other patients at their residence, nursing home and,
yes, prison) and I have been doing a fair amount of forensic
psychology, usually capital murder cases. Again, our wishes
for health and happiness. God bless you. My regards to other
group and EMP-39 members."
Chris
Storm had an active
year! He wrote: "My wife, Grite, and I have pretty much
relocated to a home in Red Lodge, Mont., although I maintain
an office in Amarillo and come back about a week per month.
Grite's translation business is doing well. I'm still looking
for an interesting business to buy. Our kids are well. My
son Christopher, whom you may remember from his visit to check
out Northwestern, received his PhD in math in June and is
now a professor at Adelphi University in New York. A sure
proof that genes do skip generations! George is a surety bond
underwriter for Zurich Re and Andrew is a securities analyst
for Lord Abbett. All three of Grite's children and our two
grandchildren live in France. In the summer of 2006, I finally
won the Hemingway look-alike contest. Now I'm a judge and
people buy me drinks instead of the other way around.
