SPECIAL ATTENTION! Please read Email02 inviting you to a special Mass for James K. O'Neill '90.

Due to the Easter Holiday, I shortened up our cycle and will move this week's issue out on Thursday. My apologies if any mistakes creep in due to the short week. Best wishes for a happy Easter, or for a happy whatever season you celebrate around the vernal equinox.

Signing off for this week.

It was with great relief that I read today about our 24 service men and women being returned to us. I wonder what the politicians traded away for their return. While I am glad for their safe return, I hope it won't cost us more in the long run. Remember the lessons of history, Munich! I personally will now look for products from Red China to boycott and urge you to do the same. This couldn't have been a trade-off so the Congress wouldn't nuke MFN status for China. Nah, that's cynical. Or is it?

Reflect well on our alma mater, this week, every week, in any and every way possible, large or small. God bless.

NEWSMAKER-PG&E's Glynn broke long "insider" chain
By Leonard Anderson

SAN FRANCISCO, April 6 (Reuters) - For most of its 96 years as one of California's largest corporations, Pacific Gas and Electric Company has tapped lifetime employees to make the long climb through management ranks to executive postings and, for the select few, to the chief executive's office.

Bob Glynn, whose blockbuster announcement on Friday that the giant San Francisco-based utility was seeking voluntary protection in bankruptcy, was one of the few ``outsiders'' to ascend to the top job at the company that traces its roots to the heady Gold Rush days of the 1850s.

The 57-year-old Glynn, a native of Orange, N.J., broke the company's long line of ``PG&E-born-and-trained'' CEOs, some of whom were the sons -- PG&E has never had a female CEO -- of fathers who worked as managers, engineers, and company officers.

PG&E insiders said, however, it was clear when Glynn walked into the company's Market Street headquarters here in 1984 that it was only a matter of time before he would join the senior ranks.

Glynn came to PG&E as a seasoned veteran of the utility business -- eight years as an engineer at Long Island Lighting Co. and 12 years with Woodward-Clyde Consultants, which specializes in the power industry.

He received an undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering from Manhattan College and a master's degree in nuclear engineering from Long Island University.

He moved quickly through early assignments in PG&E's hydroelectric department and soon headed up the big unit as vice president, responsible for one of the world's largest privately owned hydro systems.

DEBATE ON FUTURE DIRECTION

Glynn's early days at the utility were marked by a heated internal debate over the company's future in a monopolistic industry, PG&E veterans recall.

Some officers strongly resisted the move to deregulation and the breakup of vertically-integrated utilities into separate business lines -- power generation, transmission, and distribution.

Others familiar with the scars of the utility industry's lengthy and unsuccessful battle against deregulation of the natural gas business in the 1980s were ready to develop new strategies to expand into new markets.

``In the early 1990s, Glynn was the senior officer in the electric department, so he was in position to influence directions,'' said a former PG&E official who worked closely with Glynn.

``In 1992 and 1993, he saw for the industry and PG&E growth opportunities that deregulation could bring, not so much in California but all across the country and even overseas,'' he said. ``He took the lead.''

In 1995 Glynn was elected president and chief operating officer of PG&E and was preparing for the next step -- formation of a holding company structure to oversee the company's move into new national lines of business.

The new PG&E -- PG&E Corp. (NYSE:PCG - news) -- would build power plants in other states, market specialized energy services to business and industry, trade gas and electricity throughout North America, and have a brief fling targeting overseas markets before retrenching to concentrate on U.S. markets.

``LOGICAL STEP FORWARD''

``Glynn saw this as the logical step forward and he wasn't encumbered by a lot of PG&E history and focus on the California thing to hold him back,'' the former official said.

``It's more than ironic, however, that early success became a bankruptcy petition,'' he said.

When PG&E Corp. was formed in January 1997 as the holding company over the utility, Glynn moved two blocks to One Market Street -- site of the old Southern Pacific Railroad headquarters -- as president and chief operating officer. He added the CEO title only six months later. He was elected chairman in 1998.

People who work with Glynn describe him as well organized, prepared and decisive. He also gets high marks for communications skills and does not have to be ``scripted'' to handle print and broadcast interviews with major media outlets.

Glynn, who is known to munch on lunchtime pizza in a plaza near his office and chat with employees, also has a modest streak -- his official PG&E biography is only seven sentences.

Subject: Single College is defined multiple time

Dear Application Operator,

FYI, my alma mater Manhattan College has been defined three times and has different population. They are group #'s: 101-420-14, 101-423-42, and 101-431-57. Manhattan College is in the Riverdale section of the Bronx in New York City. It usually refers to itself by its Riverdale location.

Hence, I suggest that:
Manhattan College Bronx, NY
http://www.alumni.net/org_directory.asp?org_id=10142014&mt=s&filter=name
Manhattan College Dale, NY
http://www.alumni.net/org_directory.asp?org_id=10142342&mt=s&filter=name

be merged into

Manhattan College Riverdale, NY
http://www.alumni.net/org_directory.asp?org_id=10143157&mt=s&filter=name

and reduce to the one group.

Just a suggestion.
John

HEADLINE: FAVORITE SONS FOR COUNCIL Espada, Serrano vying for seat
BYLINE: BY GREG WILSON DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER

The sons of two well-known South Bronx Democrats are carrying on their fathers' rivalries in the 17th District City Council race.

Incumbent Pedro G. Espada, son of state Sen. Pedro Espada Jr., will face a challenge from Jose Marco Serrano, whose father is Rep. Jose Serrano. The race promises to be yet another battlefront in the war between the Espadas and the borough's Democratic organization.

"Races like this are going to be won based on who has an organization," said political consultant Joseph Mercurio. "What matters is who has the broadest base - in this case, between the fathers and the sons - and who has a personal knowledge of registered voters."

Espada, 27, shares his father's estrangement from the local Democratic organization. The elder Espada was acquitted last year of charges that he stole money from his health-care center to fund political campaigns in a case he said was orchestrated by the borough's Democratic hierarchy. He won back his state Senate seat and is planning bid for borough president in November.

Espada said the maverick status he and his father enjoy allows them to answer directly to voters.

"When I voted against the garbage transfer station [in Hunts Point], one of the machine's Council members told me, 'You can't do that. This is one of those times you have to hold your nose and vote yes.' I said, 'I don't want to go home to Hunts Point every night and have to hold my nose.' "

Serrano, 28, is a graduate of Cardinal Hayes High School and Manhattan College, where he majored in political science. He works as an information systems manager for the New York Shakespeare Festival but said he is ready for a career change, if voters approve.

"I have always had a desire to be involved in community service," Serrano said. "I've been blessed to have been raised in a household where community service was considered something we all should aspire to."

Serrano is chairman of the board for Urban Family Health, a nonprofit health-care organization, and is a member of Community Board 4, the Bronx Council on the Arts and the Henry St. Settlement Campfire Scholarship Committee.

He said he would focus on his plans, not on differences he might have with Espada.

"I don't concern myself with that at all," Serrano said. "The community is really sick and tired of the finger-pointing and name-calling and is ready for some positive change."

Espada, elected to the Assembly at age 22, has a decidedly more bareknuckle approach to discussing political opponents.

"I hear on a daily basis on the streets how unworthy Jose Marco is to be seeking this Council seat and how unworthy his father is to serve as congressman," Espada said.

He said he has helped two youth facilities open in the district this year, one at the Melrose Houses and another that is set to open in Hunts Point. He also is proud of voting against the garbage-transfer station and the $300 million Superblock courthouse project that was approved.

Time now for your comments.

First, corrections.

In my interview with author Paul Dickson he said...

Mr. PAUL DICKSON (Author): For example, in 1910, William Howard Taft went to a ball game, and in the middle of the game he stood up, and everybody stood up with him, thinking that he was about to leave the stadium, and he wasn't. He was just stretching, and that's the beginning of the seventh-inning stretch.

EDWARDS: Patrick Sovolkis(ph) wrote, 'I hope you can check this out, because if I'm wrong a good part of the lore of alma mater is a lie. According to the National Baseball Hall of Fame, on May 31st, 1882, when Manhattan College played for the New York Metropolitans at the Polo Grounds, Brother Jasper, the school's athletic director and coach, told the student fans to stretch and move around, and it just happened to be in the seventh inning.'

MANHATTAN COLLEGE RECEIVES A COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH GRANT TO STUDY THE WATER OF ROCKLAND COUNTY

RIVERDALE, N.Y. -- The Manhattan College department of environmental engineering, United Water of New York and Rockland County Sewer District have been awarded a collaborative research grant for $310,000 from the New York State Energy Research and Development Agency (NYSERDA) to study the water of Rockland County.

The eighteen-month research project will be conducted at Rockland County Sewer District #1 and Manhattan College. The project will focus on the development and testing of an innovative small footprint and high efficiency municipal wastewater treatment plant, which could result in significant energy savings and produce a high quality effluent. This treatment process will require significantly less space to build and operate while at the same time providing substantial energy savings and reduced environmental impact on receiving waters.

Dr. Robert Sharp, associate professor of environmental engineering at Manhattan College, and Dr. Bruno Levine of United Water New York will carry out the project; and Ron Delo, the Executive Director of the Rockland County Sewer District, will serve as the over-all project administrator.

SISTER HELEN PREJEAN, WHOSE WORK INSPIRED THE FILM DEAD MAN WALKING, TO SPEAK AT MANHATTAN COLLEGE

RIVERDALE, N.Y. --- Sister Helen Prejean, whose crusade against the death penalty inspired the 1996 Academy Award winning film, Dead Man Walking, will speak at Manhattan College, Monday, April 30 at 7:30pm in the Chapel of De La Salle and his Brothers on the College campus. Admission is free and open to the public.

The lecture, “Dead Man Walking – The Journey,“ is an outgrowth of Sister Helen’s belief that a well-informed public will reject the death penalty just as she has, and as a result she works to educate the public by lecturing, organizing and writing. The founder of “Survive,” a victim’s advocacy group in New Orleans, Sister Helen continues to counsel not only inmates on death row, but the families of murder victims, as well. She is currently working on her second book about three innocent people she has known on death row.

Sister Helen began her prison ministry at the Louisiana State Penitentiary in 1981 while working with inner city residents in New Orleans. There she counseled death-row inmates, accompanied five men to execution and witnessed their deaths. Her experiences were recounted in the book, Dead Man Walking:

An Eyewitness Account of the Death Penalty in the United States, which made the 1994 American Library Associates Notable Book List, was nominated for a 1993 Pulitzer Prize and remained number one on the New York Times best seller list for 31 weeks.

“Dead Man Walking – The Journey,” is sponsored by the College’s department of campus ministry/social action, which provides opportunities for students to explore, develop and enhance their personal growth. By allowing students to investigate, reflect and act on issues of social justice, students are able to enhance their academic skills and lifelong learning while being of service to others. In addition to lectures and symposiums, Manhattan College conducts annual service learning trips as well as volunteer opportunities for organizations such as God’s Love We Deliver, Habitat for Humanity, the Highbridge Community Life Center, and others.

While admission to the lecture is free, reservations are required. Call (718)862-8600 to make your reservation. Manhattan College is located at West 242nd Street, near Broadway, in the Riverdale section of the Bronx.

John,

Thanks for the report - regrettably. I am on a list serve which covers college alcohol related incidents and receive reports of death, injuries and destruction on a daily basis. This report will probably make its way to me through the list soon. The fact that it was a Manhattan College student's life that was taken hits home for me even closer! As I am sure you had seen from my previous messages and perhaps my book and/or website, my approach to this is to get the most accurate and applicable information to the students in a way that is receivable for an 18-22 year old. Then, once armed with that info, they can make a more informed choice. Too many of our institutes of higher education play the role of enabler through their denial of the seriousness of this issue on their campus sometimes in fear of lost enrollments. The lack of meaningful and effective alcohol and other drug education certainly contributes to the problems as well.

Being a sixties kind of guy I am not one for stricter rules. As a matter of fact most of my students seem somewhat surprised at times, by my liberal (oops.. maybe I meant libertarian) views regarding this. The rules we have in place are more than enough and maybe are actually adding fuel to the fire.

Anyway, thanks again for the report. Quite honestly, I am delighted that you took the time to send it and send you kudos for remembering me as someone in this field. Stay tuned, the Second Edition of "Beer, Boze and Books" should be available at the end of this summer.

peace,
jim

You are more than welcome. I wasn't sure if you were receiving Jasper jottings and thought that you'd want to know about the death.

>Quite honestly, I am delighted that you took the time to send it and send you kudos for remembering me as someone in this field.

I wish I could say that I had a great memory or filing system but it was more about happenstance. I happened to be looking my electronic dumpster (i.e., a file folder on my pc where I "dump" everything and then can look for stuff and "ster" it around a few times). And, serendipity, I came across your email of 5/5/2000 about the "libertarian" notions on "drug control" (i.e., The government can't protect us from our own mistakes; it's totalitarianism when it tries.)

>Stay tuned, the Second Edition of "Beer, Boze and Books" should be available at the end of this summer.

Please feel free to hawk it on jottings.

It is always sad to lose one of our own. We already know of over a hundred from the Class of '52 who are no longer with us. This includes several who responded to our 1999 survey and were looking forward to our Jubilee next year; but it was not to be.

Last week we lost yet another: George Church. I learned of George's death when I opened the current issue of Time magazine (April 9) and found his photo and the following obituary on the "From the Editor" page. It seems they will miss him as much as we will.

***

On Friday, as deadline neared, we received word that George J. Church had died of kidney failure on New York's Long Island. In his 25 years here, George was one of the solid rocks on which TIME was built. A master of journalistic compression and clarity, he wrote 126 cover stories, still a record. His ability to command volumes of fact and reams of endlessly incoming reporting was legendary. As deadlines loomed, he deftly recast stories with fresh information, whittling them to fit the constraints of the printed page with nary a loss of substance and ever increasing levels of precision. The final product always appeared effortlessly expert, unassailably reasoned, as burnished as literature. One of the most colorful characters to walk our halls, George paced the corridors in stocking feet, opining loudly (and not always politely) on the ingredients of his stories even as he engineered the facts into narrative. The halls still echo too with his wickedly rewritten lyrics parodying political and journalistic betes noirs, a skill he easily transposed to hilarious songs celebrating his many friends on staff. His talents humbled us.

***

I attended high school (Cardinal Hayes) as well as college with George. In fact, were it not for an extraordinary act of thoughtfulness on George's part a long time ago, I would have gone to Fordham rather that Manhattan. It was a deed that I reminded him of, and thanked him for, many times over the next half century. My wife Jeanne and I will never forget a particular party at the college in 1998 when she coaxed George out of his shell and he ended up belting out one show tune after the other (he knew all the words) until late into the night. It was a side of George that we had never seen before. So we will miss him more than most.

Meanwhile, I hope all is going well in your lives and that you're making plans for our big get-together in June, 2002.

I'm sure you are going to receive a ton of these, but...

I'm already a member - are we switching platforms or something that necessitates me signing up again?

[JR: No, for some reason, I didn't recognize that you were already on. Just ignore the it. "Switching platforms", oh my gosh no, bite your tongue. I can't even imagine that. ;-) Upon further reflection, alumni net hides your email address so I couldn't compare it to my master list. So that's why you received another invite. john)]

Hi John,

Sounds interesting. Please send me the invitation to sign up for the newsletter.

thanks,
Jerry Finn, '67

[JR: Good thing you signed up to Alumni Net because you don't have a record in the MCOLDB or the GREEN BOOK. We might never have found you. Are you sure that you paid your final bursar's bill? Maybe you needed that remedial form-filling-out class? But, look at the benefit no solicitations from nervous undergrads to donate to the college while they mispronounce your name badly. ;-) All though what could they do to "finn"? No solicitations to jasper jottings. What a loss that was. But, on a more serious note no way for your college friends to reconnect. Now that's a loss. Doing jasper jottings, the obits have made me realize at a gut level (I'd have used the word visceral but I'd probably misspell it and you all would be scrambling for your dictionaries, right), just how fragile life is. Welcome aboard!]

All material submitted for posting becomes the sole property of the CIC. All decisions about what is post, and how, are vested solely in the CIC. We'll attempt to honor your wishes to the best of our ability.

A collection copyright is asserted to protect against any misuse of original material.

PRIVACY

Operating Jasper Jottings, the "collector-in-chief", aka CIC, recognizes that every one of us needs privacy. In respect of your privacy, I will protect any information you provide to the best of my ability. No one needs "unsolicited commercial email" aka spam.

Recognizing that Jasper Jottings uses a free Microsoft service and is hosted on a site outside of our control, we rely upon their security and privacy policies. However, the CIC of Jasper Jottings will never sell personal data to outside vendors. Nor do we currently accept advertisements, although that may be a future option.

DISCLAIMER

This effort has NO FORMAL RELATION to Manhattan College!

This is just my idea and has no support nor any official relationship with Manhattan College. As an alumni, we have a special bond with Manhattan College. In order to help the College keep its records as up to date as possible, the CIC will share such information as the Alumni office wants. To date, we share the news, any "new registrations" (i.e., data that differs from the alumni directory), and anything we find about "lost" jaspers.

QUALIFICATION

You may only subscribe to the list, visit the web site, read the archives, and submit items for publication only if you have demonstrated a connection to Manhattan College. This may require providing information about yourself to assert the claim to a connection. Decisions of the CIC are final. If you do provide such personal information, such as email, name, address or telephone numbers, we will not disclose it to anyone except as described here.

CONNECTING

Should you wish to connect to someone else on the list, you must send in an email to the list requesting the connection. We will respond to you, so you know we received your request, and send a BCC (i.e., Blind Carbon Copy) of our response to your target with your email address visible. Thus by requesting the connection, you are allowing us to share your email address with another list member. After that it is up to the other to respond to you. Bear in mind that anything coming to the list or to me via my reinkefj@alum.manhattan.edu address is assumed to be for publication to the list and you agree to its use as described.

Should some one wish to connect with you, you will be sent a BCC (i.e., Blind Carbon Copy) of our response as described above. It is then your decision about responding.

We want you to be pleased not only with this service. Your satisfaction, and continued participation, is very important to all of us.

REQUESTING YOUR PARTICIPATION

If it sounds too bad, I'll tone it down.) --- to reinkefj@alum.manhattan.edu. Please mark if you DON'T want it distributed AND / OR if you DON'T want me to edit it. Or, you can fax news to 781-723-7975 any time. Or, you can USMail it to me at 3 Tyne Court Kendall Park, NJ 08824.
