I have seen that there have in the past been some attacks on the prolonged existence of this page, so let me explain why I made it. I believe that this page can fulfill a very important role that is not covered by the original caltech.edu listing. The crucial difference between the two is the hyperlinking. Many of these people are notable individuals, with Wikipedia pages of their own. It is not immediately obvious from a mere listing of their names what else they are known for (besides, of course, being Caltech Trustees, which is usually a relatively minor item in the lists these people's positions). This page can save a lot of research for someone who is interested in learning "through the back door" about some of the unexpected links that exist between individuals and organisations, which I believe can be quite relevant for the study of politics and society.

Pardon me--My name is Fred Russo and I had the honor to work with Louise Kirkbride in the early 90s at Answer Systems. I was just trying to reach out to her and say hello. All my previous contact information is dated and I hope that whoever reads this can pass it along to her.Fred Russo 732-671-6994 fred.russo@thomson.com

Kind regards.
