Sadly we report the passing of Rosemary Bond,
longtime administrative assistant with Kenneth Leventhal & Company and
Ernst & Young. Rosemary served many
of us during her three decades of service and set up the first pre-computer era
alumni listings for our reunions and other communications. Loved by all, she will be sorely missed.
It
was back to the future in Newport Beach as the Ernst & Young Orange County
office hosted their KL/EYKL alumni reunion.
It was especially nice to see members of our Los Angeles group in
attendance, including Joe Knott, Howard Lee, Gary Wescombe, Neil Schimmel, Mike
Meyer, Kevin Harrigan, Susanna Jue, Jennifer Roy, Marissa Liu, Rob Starkman,
Paul DeMyer, Bob Hendrickson, Chris Seyfarth, Mike Gillmore, Dave Siegel, Bruce
Molnar, Barry Gross, Ed Nolan and Wayne Stelmar. The event photographer got just this one shot
of our contingent, showing Susanna, Jennifer and Marissa along with one of the
paid staff. (Click to enlarge photo.)

more known for basketball and other accomplishments. Makes for a very interesting collage.
