TMP 2000

	TMP 2000 alums Sue Ficek, Darin Prado and Joro Ayenew at a December alumni event in Chicago.

Thanks to everyone who came to Northwestern night at the Brew and View on Oct. 12. Proceeds went to benefit Northwestern scholarships and programs. Also, thanks to everyone who joined us at the joint student/Kellogg Alumni Club of Chicago Holiday Party at North Beach on December 14! It was great re-connecting with so many of you. I recall chatting with fellow classmate Josh Meyer as well, although he was a little camera shy (just kidding – where did you go, Josh?)

If you didn’t hear about these events, that might be because you don’t have your alumni e-mail forwarding address set up. Go to www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/alumni/eservices.htm to set this up and sign up for the TMP Class of 2000 listserv.

After much delay, I finally got together with Barb Borgstrom last month in Boston’s North End restaurant district. Barb has moved into a great apartment in a great location in downtown Boston; she can be reached at bborgstrom@yahoo.com. It was great seeing you and catching up, Barb! Let’s hope its not another six months before we do it again!

Mike Kamradt and his wife Tara are having their first child and recently got a dog—a Pug named Hazel. Mike has been at A.T. Kearney for one-and-a-half years and is currently working in the automotive sector. While Mike enjoys work he admits that Detroit is no Chicago.

Jimmy Li writes that he feels he has made a difference in Intel’s continuous profitability during this worst downturn to the semiconductor industry. Jimmy enjoys the breeze and sunshine on golf courses while Midwest and New England were under snowstorm. He pays special attention to keep his lawn green and in good shape. Jimmy, his wife and two daughters live in Chandler, Ariz., 20 miles southeast of Phoenix. He can be reached at 480.715.0188 or jimmy.li@intel.com. It’s always great hearing from you Jimmy!

	Malia Mueller, TMP 2000, married Steve Smith last August.

Mike Perlman started a new job working for Bradley Marketing Group, a small marketing consulting and services firm in the northern suburbs of Chicago. Jennifer Blanchet also works at Bradley, and Mike writes that it’s nice to be back working with Kellogg alumni! Mike’s wife Felicia and their 13-month-old son Samuel are all doing well. Hope to see you soon Mike.

Rich Riley and his wife Jeanne had the great fortune of having their first child on Sept. 25. Connor is a very active boy and keeping mom and dad very active. They’re enjoying parenthood and adjusting to life with less sleep. Rich works for Accenture.

Amy Shields TMP 2000 married Chris Johnson in September. Several Kellogg friends joined in the celebration in Kansas City.

On Sept. 8, Amy Shields married Chris Johnson in Pittsburg, Kan. Several of their Kellogg China GIM buddies made the trip to Oz for the occasion. Pictured from left to right: Brian and Susie Hoeger (TMP 1999), John Kearney and Cathy Betz (TMP 1999), Jane and Todd Holscher (TMP 1999) and David, Sean and Lisa Appleby (TMP 1999). Amy and Chris would like to take this opportunity to thank all of them for the lovely A1 sauce bottle crafted at the reception using table decorations and hot wax. It is good to know that if those finance/marketing/consulting jobs do not work out, an HGTV craft show would provide a viable career alternative.

Amy and Chris have settled into their new house in Forest Glen, Ill., where Amy continues to work for The Northern Trust Company as an assistant financial officer in Northern Trust Global Investments.

Craig Vercruysse recently joined fellow Kellogg alumni Margie Chiang ’00 and Rose Flynn ’92 for a hike in Marin County, Calif., north of San Francisco.

Sari Winick and husband Mark welcomed baby Joshua Fischer Winick into the world on Oct. 5. In September, Sari made an internal move at Quaker Oats to be an assistant marketing manager, working on Quaker Toasted Oatmeal Cereals.

It was great hearing from all of you this time, keep the updates coming! Go Cats!
