Joel Epstein is working closely with Princeton in Asia and has arranged for three graduates of the Class of ’00 to have one-year internships in Asia. They are employed in his company’s offices in Bangkok and Taipei (AIG Consumer Finance Group).
Bob Berkowitz writes, “The annual cycle of the school year still dominates our activities. With two children in eastern colleges, Charles in his junior year at Bard College and Allison in her sophomore year at Boston U., we find ourselves in full flight as the summer ends, toting all the stuff through the check-in counter at San Francisco Airport. Labor Day in the student ghetto in Boston was a memorable experience. We waded through the bazaar of furniture and fixtures arrayed on lawns and sidewalks, past every rental van in the world parked on the narrow streets of Allston and Brookline. Back home in Silicon Valley in a quiet house, I await the shower of applicant cards that signal a new season of schools committee interviews and a new class of Californians to send back to the east.”
Mark Biderman has left Oppenheimer after 30 years and has moved to Midtown to join a startup financial services firm, Natl. Financial Partners, as CFO. He is enjoying the job and Midtown.
Roger Bates says that he saw Steve Oxman and Steve Parker at a reunion of Nassoons from the Classes of 1964-72 in NYC last March. They gave a credible, though Roger says, “somewhat rusty,” performance at the annual dinner of the Princeton Nassoons Alumni Assn., held at the NY Racquet and Tennis Club. Roger has been editing the Nassoon Alumni Assn.’s newsletter for the past three years, “pulling out what little hair I have left trying to get guys to send me copy!”
