I have fallen behind on my Eph wedding blogging. Apologies to all! Latest nuptials from the New York Times.
Yfat Miri Reiss and Bradley Howard Gendell were married last evening by Rabbi Sol Greenberg at the Wheatleigh, a hotel in Lenox, Mass.
…
The bridegroom, 38, is a hedge fund manager at Cumberland Associates, an investment advisory company in New York. He is the chairman of JazzReach, a nonprofit organization devoted to promoting the appreciation of live jazz. He graduated from Williams College and received an M.B.A. from Harvard.
JazzReach seems like an interesting organization. There is at least one other Eph on its board, Ken Alleyne ‘88.
And, to complete the circle, Ken was the subject of a similarly Jazz-themed wedding announcement four (!) years ago.
Congratulations to all.

Wow, a Williams alum who is a hedge fund manager? That’s rare . . .

Actually, I think that it is rare. There are 25,000 Williams alumni. How many of them are hedge fund managers? I would be surprised if the number is over 100. Twenty or so would be closer to the mark, but that does not count the private equity and venture capital Ephs.
Of course, such Ephs are much more likely to get their wedding announcement into the New York Times . . .

Congratulations to Brad, who was one of the nicest people I knew at Williams. I don’t know about his skills as a Hedge Fund manager, but I’m sure he could do well in politics (at least on a local level), if he wanted to.

Whitney’s got something with that “at least on a local level” remark. How about Brad for the Zoning Board of Appeals.
Sorry Whitney, couldn’t resist.
