Dazed and Confused

It was a beautiful morning. it was so bright it hurt my eyes...I have an injury in one eye.
I visited my Doc at the hospital in Evanston today. Afterwards, I headed north for some lunch. And before lunch I walked through the old campus of Northwestern....my undergrad alma mater.
I walked through the Economics Department to see if I could find any Profs from my days there. I found one: Robert Moses---I had him for Micro-Economic Theory...

As I made my way to the elevator, I saw a plaque....and on it a familiar face. It was Steve Glick, someone I'd known during my days as an undergrad/ A conference room was named in his honor...a father, a student and a friend. He'd gone on to Harvard Business and was a Director at Credit Suisse, First Boston, after Northwestern.

Sadly I now know probably a crowded classroom full of people who went down with the WTC towers.
Screw terrorists.....and fundamentalist Muslims who are just Nazis in their beliefs.

My beautiful morning walk just darkened. And on the way out of the B school, I saw another memorial for numerous alums that went down with the WTC.

Steven L. Glick (MBA ’89) of Greenwich, Connecticut, was a managing director at Credit Suisse First Boston (CSFB) and headed the e-Client effort at the firm’s institutional e-commerce group, CSFBNext. He was attending a conference on the 106th floor of the World Trade Center’s north tower on the morning of September 11.

Prior to joining CSFB earlier this year, Glick was a senior partner at Greenwich Associates, where he led the global fixed income, foreign exchange, and derivatives consulting practice. He was a graduate of Northwestern University.

Classmates and colleagues held Glick in the highest esteem. Vikram S. Gandhi (MBA ’89) called him a “wonderful human being,” and Theodore H. Barnett (MBA ’89) said he was a “bright, happy, and caring person.” François J. Maisonrouge (MBA ’85), a colleague at CSFB, noted that Glick was widely respected across his industry and that “he always had a word of encouragement for others.”

Glick is survived by his wife, Mari (also MBA ’89), and their two young children, Colin and Courtney; his mother, Ester Glick; sisters Ellen and Stefanie; and brothers Gordon and Robert.
