Class Note 1982
Congratulations to Jim Coulter on his election to the Dartmouth College board of trustees! That makes four ’82s on the board, but who’s counting? Jim holds an M.B.A. from Stanford University and he and wife Penny have three children, including a daughter in the class of 2015. Jim is a founding partner of TPG Capital, a private investment firm in San Francisco that manages more than $50 billion in assets. Perhaps we can get TPG Capital as a 30th-reunion sponsor? Jim also serves on the boards of J. Crew, Neiman Marcus and Creative Artists Agency. I see great goodie bags for the 30th as well as a celebrity guest! At Dartmouth Jim was a member of Alpha Chi Alpha and played rugby and soccer.
Peter Roberts has been at Jones Lang LaSalle in Chicago for more than 24 years. He writes: “Had very different jobs, and the firm has changed dramatically from when I started here, but still here.” He and wife Robin have three teenage children, Meg, Matt and Michael, and a golden retriever named Samantha. Perhaps one of those kids will go to Dartmouth? In his spare time Peter plays piano and is partial to Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young and the Grateful Dead.
Kimberley Smith Quirk writes, “I moved back into the Hanover area almost three years ago and started a green energy company, the Energy Emporium of Enfield, New Hampshire, a renewable energy center, information and showroom for residential and small-business renewable and sustainable products. During the last year and a half I have renovated an historic building, the Leviston House, built in 1858, to a zero-energy building. All of our hot water, heating and electric needs will be supplied by solar energy. I just moved into the upstairs and the Energy Emporium moved into the first floor. The property had been unoccupied for the last 12 years after a fire. The Enfield Village Association (EVA) purchased it and began demolition and renovations in 2005. The building’s shell, slate roof and stone foundation were all preserved and EVA rebuilt the front porch to match the original building.” Stop by 78 Main Street in Enfield to see what Kim has done. Yes, Kim does have a master’s from the Thayer School of Engineering.

I am sorry to report that our classmate William Joseph Koslo Jr. died in May. Bill was raised in Garden City, New York, and lived in Darien, Connecticut, for the last 21 years. He had worked for the Bank of Ireland after spending five years at CIT, where he ran the firm’s capital markets group. Bill’s previous experience included approximately 25 years of leveraging loans, private placements and high-yield debt. He was actively involved in coaching both Darien Little League and Catholic Youth Organization basketball. Bill is survived by his three children, Elizabeth, Amanda and William III, and their mother, Lisa Koslo, all of Darien. Our deepest condolences to his family.
Remember to calendar our 30th reunion, June 14-17, 2012.
