Carl Dalhlgren has relocated his company from Skokie to a 75,000-square-foot facility in Summit. His company offers direct mail marketing and fulfillment. He also recently became engaged to MaryEllen Hughes, and is planning a September wedding in the Philadelphia area. Congratulations to Carl.

Ross Ampel is now working for an East Coast-based paper distribution company trying to break into the Chicago market ─ basically a start-up operation. He moved back with family to Evanston and all are thrilled to have returned. He says: “Memphis turned out to be a pretty cool place and we will miss it, but how can you beat subzero temperatures and shoveling on a daily basis? The only concern my daughter had in moving was that she was afraid she wouldn’t be able to ride horses (she’s addicted now) in Chicago because she didn’t think horses lived anywhere but Memphis. Needless to say, she is horseback riding twice a week. Contact Ross at Lindenmeyr Munroe, where he is general sales manager, 630.250.7500.

Brian Litman welcomed a new daughter, Chloe Elizabeth, on Oct. 27.

On June 28, EMP-49 celebrated its first annual picnic. The weather turned out to be beautiful. Kids and parents participated in soccer, baseball and water balloon-tossing games. It was a blend of children from a few months old to teenagers who turned out for the event. It was nice to see the future Kellogg MBA children. All in all, it was a successful picnic, and I hope more EMP-49 alumni will join in the future.

Nabil Shabshab has started an EMP-49 ethnic lunch club. He organizes monthly lunches that explore a variety of cuisines from around the world. All EMP-49 alums are invited to join the club.
