Mentor has an intern

Michael W. Howlett of Elmhurst has begun an internship with Mentor Capital Management Inc.

Michael has just finished his junior year at Purdue University, West Lafayette, Ind., where he is a financial counseling/planning major. He will remain with Mentor Capital until he returns to school in August.

Company President John S. Davis said he hopes to give Michael basic exposure to every facet of the financial planning and investment advisory business, from compliance with securities regulations to managing investment portfolios. The goal of the internship program is primarily educational.

It is expected that Mentor Capital will offer an internship every summer to a qualified college student who has an interest in financial planning as a career.
