Cruising the Hudson...

...at our Metro Market (NY, NJ & CT) summer 2007 outing. As always it was a nice event, good attendance and very well received. Me and my fellow Client Managers secured a spot up on deck for the three hour cruise. Here's Doug, me and Brian solving problems and discussing market strategy.
Many thanks to our "Captain" Bob (aka Americas Region Head) for hosting this event. In Bob We Trust. A good guy, he's always had my back...signs my checks, great mentor and gets all "Papa Bear" when hearing about my latest adventures. I can never make it out of his office without him telling me "now just don't hurt yourself" at least once. Here's Bob and me.

As the day progressed we had a lot of strategy discussions and well, we drank a lot of wine...


And of course...it wouldn't be a Mercer party without our Eugene picking up all the girls. (New analysts and interns were all warned well beforehand.) It was nice to catch up though, I hadn't seen him in ages.

Despite being about 14 years my senior, he will forever be "the little brother I NEVER wanted!!!"
