Dave Clark (B. S. 1980) email address:dclark@justicehill.com writes:I received an M. Eng. degree in Operations Research from Cornell University in 1981. I worked for Bell Laboratories and then Digital as a mathematician / statistician until a few years ago. I am now president of Justice Hill Technologies in Sterling MA, a small consulting firm which specializes in mathematical modeling and simulation. Most of our clients are in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and bio-tech industries. In my spare time I play guitar in a classic rock band called The Blue Flames. I have been married for 20 years and have 3 kids. I would LOVE to hear from any of the gang that used to proctor the individualized calculus courses in the late 70's (hey, it was a great way to meet girls!) (11/7/2002)
Irene (Tobolsky) Wachsler (BS 1985 with minor in Computer Science)
Received my MBA from Babson College in 1998. My business partner, Gerard Lamarche, and I started a company, LamarTech, that offers products and services for the contact center. In addition to doing the technical stuff, every day brings on a different role to play. It's been quite a roller coaster ride and lots of fun in building the company up from scratch.
I'm also heavily involved in community organizing & am working as a lay leader with the Greater Boston Interfaith Organization, or GBIO, (http://www.gbio.org/) on social justice issues. With so many issues to work on, I decided to focus on the affordable housing crisis. GBIO collected over 125,000 signatures demanding affordable housing which we presented to Celluci, Birmingham & Finneran. We also held an area action last year in which over 3,000 people attended and Birmingham promised the $100 million trust fund. Now, I'm working on Nehemiah which represents a new paradigm to build over 1,000 units of affordable housing throughout Greater Boston. (5/15/2001)
