Sarah Elizabeth Skidmore was born May 20, 2000, and on her way home from the hospital her Dad, Tom Skidmore, drove her by Kellogg to show her where she would be in 2025. Tom, Beth and Sarah live in Evanston and have seen many Kellogg alums as they return to recruit or visit. Keep coming!

On Sept. 9, Jeff Johnson and Eila De Bard were married out in Sun Valley, Idaho. Many Kellogg friends made it for a weekend of fly-fishing, hiking, shooting, biking and celebrating with the couple. Classmates Billy Bauman and Mike Lane were readers in the ceremony. After returning from a two-week honeymoon to Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Eila left her brand management job at Kraft Foods. Jeff could have sworn he married someone who was gainfully employed! Eila's new venture -- a personal chef business based in New Canaan, Conn., is quickly getting off the ground. "Dinners by Eila," is an in-home cooking service that does all the menu-planning, shopping, preparation and packaging for 20 dinners at a time. If you or any folks you know in the lower Fairfield County would be interested in this service, have them give Eila a call at 203. 979.7403 or send her a note at eilajohnson@ yahoo.com. Jeff is still in the equity research position he went to at SSB Citi, in Stamford, Conn., and he loves it.
