Dave Blair reports that daughter Kate graduated in the Class of ’00, and he decided to replace her by joining the Bendheim Center for Finance (in old Dial Lodge!) in Sept. 2000. Dave is director of corporate relations and advises corporate partners on recruiting, and advising undergraduates and master’s students on how to get jobs in the post “exuberance” era. Dave will be teaching a freshman seminar on Modern Financial Markets in spring 2002. Dave has reached out to classmates Pepper Pettit and Russ Swanson for architectural help on a new house he’s building on Lake Carnegie, giving a true ring to the old joke, “We live by the lake, drop in.”
Cliff Ransom is still living on a boat in Boston Harbor and maintaining a house in Baltimore. Cliff says “Hey, other Bay State denizens have places on the Cape or Martha’s Vineyard; mine’s in the Inner Harbor.”
In August, Geoff Lipsey rode bicycles with three friends from Vancouver, B.C., to San Francisco. It was “a special trip – reminded me of how beautiful this country is, and how diverse.”

Their eldest son, Chris ’94, is a marketing manager at Harrah’s in Las Vegas, and son Scot (Harvard ’95) is an investment banker in St. Petersburg, while daughter Julie (SUNY Genesee’99) is teaching in Virginia.
