In mid-2008 Stan Arend moved to Oregon for employment about 50 miles southwest of Portland with the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community of Oregon. “This group of tribes is well-known for the Trail of Tears forced march up the Oregon coast to the Grand Ronde reservation in the mid-1800s. In addition to governmental service programs for tribal members, the tribe operates the successful Spirit Mountain Casino, which ranks as the No. 1 tourist and entertainment destination in Oregon based on visitor counts. I am the finance officer for the tribe, reporting directly to the tribal council. Been here 18 months and it is fascinating, a blend of general government and a closely held family corporation.”
Although he obtained both medical and law degrees and is licensed in both, Ken Sigelman has been a full-time practicing lawyer for the last 27 years, handling malpractice, catastrophic personal injury and other complex medical cases on behalf of plaintiffs. His major practice focus is childbirth injury cases; last summer he obtained both the largest medical malpractice award in the history of the state of Ohio in one case and the largest such award in the history of San Diego in another case. Ken was named the 2009 Outstanding Lawyer of the Year by the Consumer Attorneys of San Diego, where his practice is based and where he is an avid Padres fan and marathoner. “I’m hopeful I can nudge my middle-aged bones through a few more marathons so I can run one fast enough to qualify for Boston.”
In March Boston University honored Bob Glovsky for his 28th year with the university and his 20th year as program director in financial planning at Metropolitan College’s Center for Professional Education, one of the nation’s original financial planning programs. This January Bob began duties as chair of the board of directors of Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards Inc. and will lead the board’s efforts to establish a professional standards-setting oversight board for financial planners. This summer Bob will serve as director emeritus and adjunct assistant professor in financial planning.
I caught up with Mike Havern at a breakfast where Peter Saccio, the Leon D. Black Professor of Shakespearean Studies, was the guest speaker. Saccio, who retired at the end of the 2007 academic year, is busy on the Dartmouth speaking circuit. In conversation afterward, noting we were both ’73s, Saccio mentioned to us how generous and helpful Leon Black has been to him, separate and apart from establishing and funding the chair he held. Mike was fortunate enough to retire early and has spent the 2000s tutoring math and related subjects at Eastside Preparatory Academy in East Palo Alto, California, a small, mostly minority community adjacent to Palo Alto where Mike resides. Eastside Prep has an enviable track record of sending its graduates to four-year colleges throughout the country.
