EMP-46

Gregory Calloway, our marathon man, ran the popular Chicago Marathon for the fifth time. His efforts once again raised funds for ALA's Spectrum Scholarship Program and contributed to the Spectrum Presidential Initiative, which hopes to generate $1 million in contributions to Spectrum.

Dominick Cocciemiglio organized a trip to Lambeau Field for the Bears season opener against the Packers. He arranged a traveling event of sorts, with a Saturday poker night in Sheboygan, golf Sunday morning and tailgating at Lambeau by 3 p.m. All that was missing was a victory. Wait till next year! David Hill on the other hand was not at all surprised by the outcome.

Jose Martinez and his family ended the summer break with a trip to Maui where Jose, his wife Kamala and son Christian spent ample time resting and relaxing in paradise. In fact, they plan to go back there in August 2011 to celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary and renew their wedding vows. Jose would like to see you all there and perhaps double it as an EMP-46 reunion vacation. He promises to throw a little party by the beach.

Darlene Ziebell is a contributing author to the book, Bootstrap Business. This book is written for those with the entrepreneurial spirit. Rumor has it that she will hold an EMP-46 book signing.

That is it for now, we sign off until next time and leave you with the image of Greg still running, Alan happily married, Jose happily employed, and Sue still trying to fix healthcare. Your virtual social committee is excited to seek ways to keep EMP-46 connected.
