1993
Hello
once again. I’m happy to report that I continue to receive
news and updates from people who have never been in this column
before. Please continue to send in your news!
Ernesto
Ure
wrote to share the news that after several years in the corporate
real estate world, he has decided to strike out on his own.
He has recently announced the formation of Covenant Realty
Partners in Manhattan Beach, Calif., where he lives with his
wife Mari and their three children — Delfina (12), Clara
(7) and Ernesto V (2). Congratulations and best of luck on
the new venture.

Also stepping
out in a new direction is Connie Unger. Connie celebrated
her 40th birthday this past year by taking a volunteer vacation
for two weeks in Eastern Romania to care for children in a “Failure
to Thrive” clinic. For the most part, these children are
orphans, and volunteers of this program help by simply providing
basic care and love, which the children otherwise might not
have a chance to experience. The trip was made even more special
in that Connie is of 100 percent Romanian descent. Since she
was there Sept. 7-22, she missed the terrorist attacks in her
home city of New York, adding an extra degree of poignancy.
This initial two-week experience was so special, Connie has
since returned to Romania in February to continue this work.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful experience.
Alla Grinshtat
also wrote in about a wonderful experience. She celebrated
her wedding to Michael Wexler in New Orleans on May 12, 2001,
along with quite a few Kellogg classmates. Pictured below
are: Yumiko Sato, who came all the way from Japan with
her friend Satoko Sunami ’92, Heather Forsythe,
Alla, Michael, Kathy Jara Skinner, Nancy
White and Miguel Polanco. Alla reports that after
Kellogg, she worked with American Express in New York, before
going to work for Microsoft in Redmond, Wa., where she met
Michael. Alla and Michael are living in Boston, where Alla
writes that she “decided to experiment with a somewhat
different venue and I’m presently working for the State
of Massachusetts in their Technology Division on the deployment
and marketing of their new state Web site.” Congratulations!

Finally,
I also want to remind everyone that — believe it or not
— our 10-year reunion will be next year! This means we
need to start thinking about it and planning now, and I would
welcome any input and help from any of you. Please let me
know if you would be willing to help with the big event. It
should be a blast! The reunion will also be the time that
I will be stepping down as class alumni rep. After 10 years,
I think it is time to pass the baton to someone else. If any
of you are interested in serving as the class alumni rep,
please let me know and I’d be happy to share more about
the job.
In the
meantime, enjoy the springtime and keep sending updates!
