Tim Greene

I attended the University of Idaho following graduation from BCC. On graduation, I was awarded a Ford Foundation Fellowship in Economics at Brown University. I resigned the fellowship in 1962 to attend law school at George Washington University. On graduation, I started work at the SEC in Washington as a staff attorney. I was there for six years and was Executive Assistant to the Chairman of the SEC when I left in 1971. I was recruited to serve as Special Assistant to the General Counsel of the US Treasury Department for a two year period following the SEC tour. In 1973,I was asked to serve as the first Executive Vice President and General Counsel of Sallie Mae and helped get that company started. I left Sallie Mae in 1979 for the great state of Texas and practiced law in Dallas in the law firm of Eggers and Greene. I also helped form a consulting group of Tower, Eggers and Greene which included former Texas Senator John Tower. In 1990, I was invited to return to Sallie Mae as Executive Vice President and General Counsel and headed a 26 member legal staff. I also was responsible for congressional relations, public relations, and human resources and served as Chairman of Sallie Mae's Credit Committee. During this period I also served on the Board of Directors of several Washington based companies and Foundations.

In 1997,(we are almost finished....this is a little too long), I was a co founder and principal of Stuart Mill Capital, Inc. based in McLean, VA. I was involved in the formation of an investment group which included GE Pension Plan Trust and Ambassadors International for the acquisition of Sato Travel which was owned by the eleven US airlines. Sato was a very large world wide company with over 2000 employees and significant world wide sales. Our investment group helped manage the company and were pleased to arrange the sale of the company in June 2001 to a Denver based public company.

I remain a principal of Stuart Mill Capital and we continue to look at opportunities in the financial services sector. I escaped to beautiful North Idaho in late 2001 and enjoy
operating from here. I serve on the Advisory Board for the College of Business at the University of Idaho and on the Board and Investment Committee for the University of Idaho Foundation. I continue to serve on the Boards of several corporations and find time to enjoy all the great outdoors offers. I miss our friends in Washington but don't miss the morning commute. It has been a fun journey with interesting assignments. All is well here. Good luck on the reunion and I plan on being there.
