Class Note 1973
Issue
Onward: After being employed for 26 years by JP Morgan Chase Claude Weir retired from his senior managing director/executive vice-president responsible for worldwide human resources position. A resident of Bonita Springs, Florida, he and his wife, Yvette, set up the Weir Family Foundation, which helps people with developmental disabilities, youth and the poor. In Claude’s words, “Essentially we dole out money where our heart leads us.” Claude is on the board of directors of Job Path, a program for those with learning disabilities and is involved with the Neighborhood Health Clinic in nearby Naples and with the United Negro College Fund. He and his family volunteer at Joanne’s House, a Florida hospice facility where Claude sings on the music therapy team and works directly with patients. He is also a serious competitive runner in his age group, an avid fisherman and a distance cyclist with the Bonita Bay Bicycle Club.
John Stinebaugh runs a real estate business primarily in Alpharetta, Roswell, and South Forsyth County north of Atlanta, Georgia, specializing in residential real estate. He’s been there since 1994, having relocated from Boston, and would be pleased to connect with old friends.
Lowenstein Sandler announced that employment attorney Bill Greenbaum joined the law firm in its Roseland, New Jersey, office as a member of the firm’s employment and labor practice. Bill has more than 25 years of experience in healthcare law and in all aspects of employment and labor law and joins Lowenstein Sandler from WolfBlock’s Roseland office, where he had been a partner for the past eight years and headed the firm’s equal employment opportunity policy and complaint resolution process. He is a member of the legal affairs committee of the New Jersey Business and Industry Association and a member of the board of directors of Jersey Battered Women’s Service Inc. Bill has lectured and written extensively in the areas of labor and employment law, particularly on affirmative action compliance, sexual harassment investigations and workplace violence.
Deepak Kenkeremath has been working on a project funded by the Department of Energy on the impact of deregulation of the electric utility industry on rural America, specifically focused on rural electric cooperatives in Georgia. In addition to illustrating the need to educate all customers and stakeholders about the impacts associated with deregulation, the project also illustrated the opportunities that exist to educate customers and decision-makers on energy-efficient and renewable technologies as they ponder the long-term effects of utility restructuring. Deepak is with Technology Prospects in Falls Church, Virginia.
One of the nine alumni chosen to receive 2009-10 Dartmouth Alumni Awards by the Alumni Council is Bob Barr, immediate past class president and ongoing newsletter editor. The qualifications for the award, established in 1954, are longstanding and meritorious service to Dartmouth, career achievement and other community service. As every classmate should know Bob has overachieved in these areas. He received his award at Class Officers Weekend in September and I’m sure all join me in extending well-deserved kudos.
Year-end best wishes!
