LIFE AFTER CHASE
 David Gibson-Moore has lived in the Gulf Region for nearly 30 years. He is a frequent speaker and panel moderator for financial conferences, as well as a consultant for entities wanting to start up in the Middle East. And he has quite a novel to write!
 Happy D-Day Birthday, Seiki Murono! Read of the extraordinary circumstances of his birth and his almost textbook fulfillment of the American Dream in spite of those surroundings, an almost textbook example of American Shame.
 Gene Ret devoted much of his career to the evolving field of privacy compliance. Now "quasi-retired", he offers community groups pro bono presentations to help the less informed (and more gullible) among us navigate scams and threats of identity theft.
 Scenes of the destruction of Mariupol are particularly difficult to watch for Tom Hayne, who spent six weeks there in 1995 as a volunteer with the International Executive Search Corps (IESC), a group co-founded by David Rockefeller.
MOMENTS IN BANK HISTORY

 Peter Rapuzzi remembers a time we cooperated with Russian bankers.
 Ed Moran shares some delicious stories and memories of encounters with boldface names from his days at Chase Manhattan. It's a real fun read!
 Inspired by Gene Ret (photo, right), Larry Stirling (photo, left) tells us more about The Vault on 5B at One Chase Manhattan Plaza and other tales of 1CMP.
 Having written about being one of the "mole people" working without windows in The Vault on 5B at One Chase Manhattan Plaza, Gene Ret guides us through the other floors below ground.
Did a Chase medical kit save your life?
Steve Hirsch says a kit indirectly saved his life. Nancy Saur said it certainly helped. Read about it.
The kits were issued to employees who travelled or were transferred overseas. Please let Andrea know at news@chasealum.org if you have a story about how a Chase medical kit was lifesaving (for you or someone else) when you were abroad.

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.
