EMP-35

Hello to everyone! I hope everyone had a wonderful summer. If you have changed your e-mail address recently, please send me the updated information. I would sure appreciate hearing from you! This helps me keep in touch with all of EMP-35.

Nick Cray writes that he changed positions within the Werner Co. Switched from manufacturing management to engineering. He is now the director of technology, responsible for ongoing process improvements material development, and R&D. His children, Rebecca (7) and Ryan (4) are doing well, taking after their Dad's love of math and sciences. Nick promises to be looking up other EMP-35ers to have a Cohiba smoker night at our favorite watering hole. Nick sends his best to all.

Rob Garrison and his wife Ann are willing to share their good news about their little son Theodore (his picture is on their restaurant Web site at www.funrestaurants.com). Rob and Ann are thrilled and having lots of fun with their new addition. They adopted Ted from South Korea when he was approximately four-months-old in September. Rob and Ann hope to see fellow EMP-35 classmates at one of the gatherings.

Karla Gueye checks in with "Me and mines are in good health and blessed. Wishing everyone in EMP-35 the best in 2001."

Jim Schwarz wondered if he had given us a recent update. Jim moved into a fantastic company and an even better job on May 9, 2000, with Shure Inc. at 222 Hartrey in Evanston. He is the director of materials (purchasing, planning, and forecasting for five plants). Shure is an incredible company that truly reflects those competencies that create a real "built-to-last" organization. His family is doing well (wife Mary and three children) and still residing in Evanston. Jim is grateful to Kellogg World because it allows him to keep in touch with good friends.

Phil Helding and his associates have received a grant from the Department of Public Health, State of Indiana, to develop programs for the identification and treatment of chemical dependency and psychiatric illness in high-risk pregnant women.

That's all for this edition. Please keep in touch with new e-mail addresses. Enjoy the summer.
