    Fave Five Podcast 16 - Peter Krentz

    When he was captain of the volleyball team his senior year of college, Yale won the Eastern Collegiate Volleyball League and got to play in the Final Four at UCLA’s Pauley Pavilion. Peter in his own words (from his Davidson profile): I can see pretty clearly that my love of classics and ancient history started with and has been regularly reinforced by travel in the Mediterranean world. When I was ten years old, my family climbed into a VW minibus for a two-month trip starting in Germany. We drove across the Alps and down Italy, took a ferry to Greece, drove from Greece to Turkey, getting as far south as Miletus before returning to Germany, where my father was spending a sabbatical in Tübingen. I was hooked.

    Kim Glover (her last name rhymes with “clover”) is Director of Employee Communications & Change Management at TechnipFMC, where she leads enterprise programs that make work clearer and culture stronger—integrating change strategy, internal comms, digital platforms, expert networks, and social learning. We have both attended the annual KMWorld Conference for many years, and in November 2025 we presented together for the first time. Kim in her own words (from her blog): I’m easy to describe – a middle-aged renaissance person with a deep love for family, a myriad of interests and a love of the written word. I’ve got a very interesting corporate job running knowledge management for a global company, and this blog is one of my happiness hobbies.

Jeri has a multitude of friends and is my counterpart in organizing and hosting social events. Jeri told me that she has been working on her humility and that so far, she is doing great.
