Chase Alumni: The Coronavirus Edition

Dear Reader,
 
As we wrote to you Sunday, we're thinking of all our readers who are feeling the impact of the coronavirus crisis. While you may be holed up at home, we hope you will share with us any special stories you have about displacement, or odd or funny stories about how you are occupying your time. We especially welcome stories from our alumni outside the United States, explaining how your locales are responding.
 
We have created a new page – The Coronavirus Springfor your contributions. (There are already a few.) We also welcome your book recommendations, for fellow alumni who now find themselves with more time to read.
 
Social distancing is the new norm, but not virtual social distancing! We hope you'll consider the CAA web platform as a way to reach out to others and keep from going stir crazy: Read previously published stories (mostly under News" or "Life After Chase"), or write a new one for us.
 
Stay well, wash your hands, keep checking The Coronavirus Spring page for additions and keep in touch (without touching).
THE FOLLOWING HAS BEEN CANCELLED. A NEW DATE WILL BE POSTED WHEN AVAILABLE.

# The CAA mourns the death of longtime member Peter Larr on December 16, 2019.  He worked all over the world for Chase over a 40-year career.

A remembrance and celebration of Peter's life will be held in Rye, NY on the afternoon of Sunday, March 22, 2020. To RSVP and get details, contact Robert Geary.


How Best to Use the CAA Membership Directory

It's a good time to update the information in your profile, so that the CAA and other members would be better able to contact you. Using the Membership Directory is a privilege of dues-paying CAA members.
 
Now get a refresher on how to best use the membership directory to find an individual or groups of individuals you would like to contact. (Note that only dues-paying members have access to the directory.).
 
To get to the directory, log in at www.chasealum.org. On the home page menu, click on Membership and then Member Directory.
When searching by name, or in any of the other search areas, we advise starting by putting in less information in the search field. For example, if you want to find William Smith, type only Smith in the Search by Name box; if you put in “William Smith” and he is calling himself Bill Smith in his profile, you will not find him.
 
If you want to find members who live near you, enter the city, state or country (or any combination) under Location. The Years at Chase search is very valuable. Type in 1996-2005, for instance, and you will find everyone who worked for the bank (including heritage banks) during those years. You can narrow your search by also typing in a location or job title.
 
Once you have entered the search words, click on Search at the bottom of the page. When members’ names appear, click on their names to obtain more detailed information about them.
 
If you have any problem with any of this, contact Ken Jablon at jablonkt@aol.com.
 
As always: If the links do not work for you, you can always access the latest stories by logging on to CAA's web site.

If you have any questions, please send an e-mail to Ken Jablon or call Ken (during normal working hours) at 212-799-9525.

By the by: Don't forget to explore the rest of the CAA Web site. Just click on the home page menu buttons to find the news archive, photo album, membership directory, past In Memoriams and benefit information.
