Just a few hours separated him from his
great ideal, managing the Representative
Office of Rabobank Nederland in Italy,
when he was suddenly and unexpectedly
taken from this life. We were dazed when
we heard the staggering news from Milan
that, in all truth, no-one could believe. We
knew Jan, who for 18 years served
Rabobank with enthusiasm, as an inspiring
and inventive colleague. It was no coinci-
dence, therefore, that in 1988 Jan became
involved with the further internationaliz-
ation of our bank. There was an additional
side to this - his great interest in and love
for Italy, both of which he shared with his
wife. The country, the people, the language
and the culture were all described by Jan
with great fervour. The last weeks in the
Netherlands took on an Italian flavour
thanks to his frequent and precise use of
the language, whilst in Italy the Italians
had already come to accept him as one of
them. Unfortunately, he was not to realize
the many plans that he had in both the
business and private sphere. We are con-
vinced that, together with his wife, Jan
would have had much success in Italy and
regret that this opportunity is to be denied
them. We will all seriously miss this very
good colleague and will continue to re-
member him.
'Lui ha incominciato, ma non ha avuto la
l'opportunita di finire'.

Since the inception of the New York Branch,
a strong commitment has been made to
the ongoing development and education of
staff members. This was in response to the
need to understand the ever-changing mar-
ket in which the Branch operates. In an ef-
fort to remain competitive with other insti-
tutions, and to enhance productivity in the
organization, educationai development has
always been a priority item. Rabobank's
New York Branch has long been a supporter
of the American Institute of Banking, the
banking education arm of the American
Banker's Association. Certificate programs
are offered in various banking programs. In
addition, seminars are offered ranging from
practical applications of Lqtus software pro
grams to complex capital market topics.
Credits earned at the Institute are recog-
nized by local colleges and universities to-
ward degree programs. During any given
semester, several employees of the Branch
are usually enrolled in the certificate pro
gram offered by the Institute. The New York
Branch has made a unique contribution to
the Institute which does not involve a finarv
cial contribution or student enrollment.
Among the prominent members of the fac-
ulty of the Institute the Bank boasts some
Staff members: Anthony D'Anna, John
Grieco and Nathaniel Schneider. This is by
far the largest percentage of faculty per
bank given the employee size of banks as-
sociated with the Institute.
