Chris Siliski recently returned from managing nationwide operations for
a large non-profit organization to pursue a masters degree in education
from UVM. Countries he has worked in over the past ten years include Latvia,
Lebanon, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, and, most recently, Afghanistan. His
efforts involved managing civic participation and conflict reduction programs
resulting in hundreds of mid-size infrastructure projects (clean water,
rehabilitated schools, clinics, etc.), all desperately needed by refugee
and other at-risk communities. Dug North wrote to share the news that
he has opened an artist studio in Chelmsford, Mass., where he creates
hand-cranked animated wood sculptures, sometimes called contemporary
automata. His work can be seen at www.dugnorth.com. Since his photograph
was in a recent Vemont Quarterly, Erik Hartog felt it appropriate
to update the UVM community on his whereabouts. (He was pictured in the
Fall Quarterly on page 47 reaching towards the phone.) Erik recently
returned to New York City after having lived in The Netherlands for the
past several years. His arrival coincided with the birth of his first
child, Madeline Heller Hartog, who hopes to be a member of UVMs
class of 2025. Erik is a partner in a small derivatives trading firm operating
in several public option exchanges. Timothy Ihlefeld of Fairfield, Conn.,
was appointed managing director for the New York branch offices of COMSYS.
