The book develops a proprietary five step approach to create a business model and is partially the result of my five years teaching entrepreneurship at Florida International University in Miami. I am also the CFO for One Laptop Per Child, the Nicholas Negroponte-inspired project to provide a modern education through the use laptop computers for children in the developing world.

Theodore Davis writes: "After 30 years as an entrepreneur -- which makes sense as I was the president of the Entrepreneurs' Club at the Business School -- I am now embarking on the creation of my fifth company. I started out in real estate but for the last 25 years I have focused on technology, specifically electronic-document management systems for the legal and financial industries. I am starting a company in the medical field that aims to incorporate natural language processing and electronic medical records. I live in Westport, Conn., have been married for 23 years and have two great kids, one, a freshman at Princeton and the other will attend Middlebury College in the fall."

I've only kept in touch with one of our classmates, but am sorry that I will be out of town and unable to attend that weekend. Thanks to those of you on the committee. I recognize several of your names and would love nothing better than to hear what you've been up to over the past 30 years. Good work, and perhaps we'll meet at the 35th.
 

From Allan Grafman: Hello Class of 1980! Some of us have been connecting with our fellow alumni over the years… some, not so much. Some of us made the 25th reunion at Columbia (and had a blast!)….some missed out (how sad!) Regardless, do NOT miss the opportunity to have a blast, strut your stuff, reconnect with your classmates, and make some contacts that can propel you to your next level of success.
 

From Joey Sala: My first reason for going would be to re-connect with past acquaintances or just connect with new people and ideas. With all the changes that are going on around and within me, sharing time with my classmates should help future decision making and overall opportunities. And then there’s New York!
 

From Mary Farley: As a commuting married graduate student, I didn’t make close friends while at the Business School. I left full-time work when my children were born and never developed the high-powered career I had hoped, so felt that my story at a reunion would be pretty dull. Now I’m simply curious about my classmates. And age has taught me that my career has had its satisfactions, which I owe to the Business School. So I plan to attend my first CBS reunion this spring.
