Greetings, classmates. I’m writing on the eve of 2011...and hoping, by the time you read this, that the early part of the year has treated you well. Hard to believe that this June—the 9th to be exact—marks 20 years since our graduation on that glorious summer day.


One tidbit of (enviable!) news to share. I had a delightful year-end call from Caroline Steimle. Caroline, you might recall, moved to Chicago right after graduation and spent years working in finance. In July, however, she and her husband pulled up stakes—for Honolulu! The natural follow-up question: Is Caroline still in finance? Of course not. She is taking time to try something entirely new; she is learning how to surf and says it’s awesome. Unclear whether this is the launch of a new career or if a return to finance is in the plan. Anyway, I say, 20 years of Chicago winters? I can’t think of a better way to defrost than riding the waves and hanging 10.


Sending you all best wishes for a year of good health, laughter and prosperity and—for myself—an inbox filled with news from you.
