A partner at Dirigo Partners in Maine,
Dan D’Entremont uses his experience in accounting and reporting, risk management, financial analysis and budgeting to help companies define and accomplish tactical objectives and to assure that the objectives are consistent with and well-integrated into corporate strategy. Dirigo is from the Latin meaning to lead or provide direction; a contrast to vox clamantis in deserto.
While it may seem odd to mention ice fishing at this time of year, I recently learned Jim
Kallestad , is the 2008-2009 President of the Kiwanis Club of Cloquet, Minnesota, and he spearheaded the Last Chance Ice Fishing Contest in February at Fish Lake in Duluth. This annual event, billed as “a sure cure for the mid-winter doldrums” is open to the whole family. Proceeds go to local charities. Now would be a good time to start planning if you are interested in participating in 2010.
Unfortunately, news has come of the passing of two classmates, John Towers and
Allister “Sandy” McCree.
Obituaries will appear in this or a future alumni magazine issue.
