# Paul G. Farrell, one of four Farrell siblings who worked for JPMorgan Chase and former Foreign Exchange Sales Manager, died August 14, 2021 at the age of 67. He had a 35-year career at Chase.

We recently learned of the March 11, 2021 death of Rose Marie Markey, 89. She retired in 1992 as manager of the Chase Manhattan branch in Jefferson Valley (near Yorktown, NY) after decades with the bank.

We recently learned of the June 26, 2019 passing of Ann R. Leven, 79. She has a brief tenure as a VP at Chase Manhattan in the late 1970s between financial positions at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and a task force for President Ronald Reagan. She was a pioneer in the intersection of art and institutional finance.

Claude Pellegrino, 71, died June 12, 2021. He was a VP at Chase Manhattan in Treasury–Asset Liability Management and was a maverick in Risk Management, as father of NEMESIS in the late 1970s, for internal balance sheet accrual risk analysis.  

A. Cushman "Cush" May, who left his mark on Chase Manhattan serving in Asia from 1968 to 1975, died in Connecticut on June 5, 2021. He was 87. Read his In Memoriam and the moving (and sometimes funny) tributes from those who reported to him. As alumna Gillian Van Schaick wrote to us, "I wish I had known Cush May! Cush was by all accounts a wonderful man, colleague, boss and friend.  It is impressive that so many former Chase colleagues felt moved to write!  Clearly a life well-lived."

How Best to Use the CAA Membership Directory              

 

If you have not done so recently, please 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.
