1996

Tim Daniels and Catherine Tantoco Daniels had an eventful year. The first half of the year saw them celebrating daughter Ava's first birthday and renovating a newly purchased flat in the Marylebone area of Central London. Then in July, Catherine was in the same carriage with and less than 20 feet away from the terrorist bomber who struck the subway. Catherine suffered some horrible injuries and spent time in and out of the hospital. She took three months of medical leave to recuperate and Tim was able to take compassionate leave to help her (and I am sure to recuperate himself). During her recuperation, Catherine met the queen and the mayor of London. Catherine and Tim write: "While things were terrible for our families in the immediate aftermath and our healing physically and emotionally still continues, we cannot get over how lucky we are that Catherine is still alive. The irony is this event — a result of an inherently evil act — taught us how much good there is in the world, mostly by the love and support we felt from family, friends and colleagues." Back at work part-time, Catherine is in a new role as global brand marketing manager for Lysol Innovations Worldwide at Reckitt Benckiser. Tim also took on a new role at work, becoming finance director for all of the Barclays credit card businesses outside of the United Kingdom. Catherine and Tim hope to make it over for the reunion.

Bernard Dallé writes that he finally tied the knot with Agnieszka Buchacz in Warsaw on Sept. 10. They met five years ago in Malaga, Spain. "The wedding ceremony was fantastic; we then took off for two weeks to Hawaii." Fellow Kelloggians present included Olaf Tarrach, Tina Silvester Echterhoff, Mirabel Gombe '97 and Dawn Skelton Cooke. Bernard and Agnieszka have been living in London for one-and-a-half years. She works in private banking and Bernard is in venture capital.

The 7.0 mixed doubles tennis team captained by John Glushik and Robyn Runyan Glushik advanced to the North Carolina state tournament in September. This is the second year in a row their team has represented Durham/Chapel Hill in the state championships. Coincidentally, the team included former Kellogg professor Tim Bollerslev.

Minako Yago Aono was married two years ago to Mori Aono. They had twins on July 2: Kohei (boy) and Sumire (girl). Minako is working for Pfizer Japan, which is her third job after Kellogg, although she is currently on maternity leave. She and Mori are hoping to make it to Chicago for the reunion.

The annual college "football pilgrimage" was held in Atlanta this year where several Kelloggians witnessed the Georgia Bulldogs play the Arkansas Razorbacks in October. Kurt Plumer, John Danahy, Tim Leland, Ted Oldham, Walt O'Shea, David Stokes and Mike Wagner had a great time cheering on the "Dawgs." Trip regulars Brian Kiraly and Todd Ziegenfus were missed.

David Stokes recently purchased Grey Eagle Distributors, the exclusive Anheuser-Busch distributorship for St. Louis County. Grey Eagle sells more than 7 million cases of beer each year and services more than 1,500 accounts in the territory. David is enjoying his new role as a business owner and is looking forward to settling down in St. Louis with his wife Dee and three children, Connor, Chase and Avery.

Traci and Keith Dunnell announce the birth of Samuel James on April 15, 2005. They write: "We are really enjoying him, and Kaelyn really likes her little brother. Not that our house wasn't noisy before with just Kaelyn, but now it's even more lively! Kaelyn is now 2 , and is quite the 'big' girl. She's made some friends here in the United Kingdom already and really enjoys going to nursery. We moved to the United Kingdom this past summer with Keith's acceptance of a new assignment for Avery Dennison, managing their U.K. and Ireland office products division. It's been quite an exciting opportunity for our whole family to live abroad and experience Great Britain and Europe."

Raphaela and John Dunlap are settled in Toronto with two children, Oliver (3) and Alexandra (10 months). John works with the family real estate brokerage company and is enjoying spending time serving as a board member on the Southlake Regional Health Centre Foundation. The Foundation is helping to build a $150 million regional cancer center for the 300-bed hospital. John is also chairman of The Royal Horse Show, which annually attracts more than 300,000 visitors and 1,200 competitors and will be celebrating its 84th year in November.

Anne and Rob Rozwat have had another exciting year, welcoming daughter Madison into the world last April. Rob continues to do information technology consulting but perhaps should consider a career as a builder after learning how to do drywalling, electrical, plumbing and hardwood floor installation last year while working on their new house. Anne writes: "Madison's bedroom and the kitchen are now finished and look great. But several more rooms to go." Avid skier Rob was excited to introduce Madison to the world of skiing while on a family trip during Christmas. Unfortunately, Madison was unable to ski due to the lack of baby-sized ski boots (maybe next year, Rob)!

Andre Walker, Roger Shubert '97, and Dan Wikel '00 are happy to announce that the City of Chicago is finally smoke-free! On Dec. 8, the Chicago City Council adopted Alderman Ed Smith's proposed Clean Indoor Air ordinance. The ordinance, which took effect on Jan. 16, bans smoking in nearly all public spaces, restaurants and workplaces.  The three alumni are all longtime volunteers with the American Cancer Society in Chicago. Andre and Roger also serve on the board of directors of the American Cancer Society Illinois Division Inc. All were actively involved in the SmokeFree Chicago Coalition grassroots advocacy campaign led by the ACS. They are now focused on making a smoke-free Illinois a reality.

Pablo Zurzolo just returned from traveling in west Africa. He writes: "I have passed the two-year mark of my extended 'sabbatical' and have been dreading the whole job search process, but I guess it has to happen sometime. I am looking forward to reconnecting with everyone in May and in the meantime would love to hear from anyone passing through Tampa!"

Sarath Ravipati and Carla Johnson Ravipati moved to Cape Town, South Africa in January. Sarath transferred with Chevron and is the regional procurement manager for the Africa-Pakistan region. Sarath and Carla are enjoying showing their children, Deven (5) and Karina (3), the beauty of Table Mountain, the beaches and wine country. Carla never thought that after her GIM trip to South Africa that she could go back there to live, so she's thrilled. They unfortunately won't make reunion but welcome anyone to visit. Carla's e-mail address is carla_ravipati@yahoo.com.

Bill Kaufmann writes: "I turned 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 in November. The smoke from my cake was significant enough that a group of Kelloggians sped to Stinson Beach, Calif. (just north of San Francisco) with extinguishers. Helping to put out the fire and enjoying a barbecue on the sand were Laura Kuo, Sarath Ravipati, Carla Johnson Ravipati, Eileen Gallagher, Karena Strella, Tom McCleary, Chris Ressel Summersgill, Phil Yau '95, Mark Medema '95, Todd Krueger '95, Paul Machle '94, George Bischof '94, and Kerry O'Rourke Bischof '95.

Esteban Bullrich, founder and former president of the Kellogg and Northwestern Alumni Club of Argentina, has been elected as a representative to the Argentine Congress in the national elections held in October. He has been representing the people of Buenos Aires City since December.

An update from Lisa Damkroger:

"Lisa Damkroger and John Earnhardt were married Memorial Day weekend in Portola Valley, Calif. Lisa and John have settled in Palo Alto, a stone's throw away from Lisa's alma mater with lots of great restaurants, golf courses, bike rides and weather to enjoy! Lisa is still with Guidant, having held several different sales and marketing roles since joining the medical device manufacturer post-Kellogg. She is currently the vice president of sales and marketing of Guidant's cardiac surgery business. John is a North Carolina native, worked in D.C. and now is in government affairs with Cisco Systems.

"The following Kellogians joined in on the wedding celebration: Stacy Haughey Braatz, Mike Braatz '98, Shari Keith Guggenhime and Andrew Guggenhime. Mike and Stacy have two kids Abigail (3) and Theo (1) and have recently moved out to the 'burbs — Wellesley — after nine years in Boston. Stacy is with Sankaty Advisors (a division of Bain Capital) as finance director. Mike is the vice president of business development at Pango Networks, a software company specializing in location software for wireless networks.

"Shari, a bridesmaid in the wedding, and Andrew are blessed with three children, Riley (3) — a flower girl — and Cooper and Brodie (2). Needless to say, they have their hands full. Shari has been a full-time mom since she left Goldman Sachs to have Riley; Andrew is the chief financial officer of NeoForma (just acquired by Global Healthcare Exchange), a healthcare supply chain software company where he's been for five years. The Earnhardts and Guggenhimes live a few miles from each other and get together often.
