He is known to the larger world as the co-author of a best-selling 1982 business book, In Search of Excellence, but Bob Waterman, MBA ’61, also paints watercolors. He taught drawing and painting skills to interested Business School classmates and their spouses during last October’s Reunion Weekend. Here, Waterman assists Jean Gee with a still life drawing. Reunion weekend also included a football game, academic lectures and panel discussions, and cocktail and dinner parties on campus and at classmates’ homes.
