Spring
brings news of many new additions to the Class of '01 family,
but I think the winner — with three kids under the age
of 2 — is John Didrickson. Please read about
this and many other exciting announcements below. And, of
course, keep the news coming. Married last year and never
let everyone know? On your second baby and never sent in a
photo of the first? No news is too late! As always, I hope
you all are happy and healthy!
Births:
Bethany
(Wenner) and Van Crocker joyfully announce the
arrival of their son Percy ("Van") Vandorn Crocker
III, born March 3, 2006. They write: "Please look us
up when you are next in Chicago!"
Danielle
and John Didrickson welcomed their third son into the
world on Dec. 20 at Northwestern Hospital! Casey John joins
twin brothers Taylor and Jaden (2) to help fill out dad's
golfing foursome!
Erica
(Fleischmann) and Ian
Norton '02 welcomed Aidan Michael Norton into the world on
Oct. 19. He is the "sweetest baby ever" (according
to his biased parents), and mommy and daddy are adjusting
well to parenthood.
There
has been lots of change for Karen O'Shea
in the last year. She and husband Andrew moved home to Ireland
in the summer of 2006 and their son Oisín was born in November.
Karen writes, "He is finally sleeping through the night,
so things are getting back to normal! I am starting back to
work as trade and retail marketing manager at Kraft Foods
in Dublin in April. If you are in Dublin, please look us up!"
Martha
Wofford and John Knight celebrated the arrival of their
daughter Nora on Christmas Day. Martha writes, "Life
in western Massachusetts is good, although busy."
Weddings:
Steve
Sherman and Pam Bilski married Nov. 11 at the Sofitel
Water Tower in Chicago. Several Kellogg friends were there
to join in the festivities, including Chris Freeburg;
Peter McWeeny; Brad Turner; Josh Daitch;
Corey (Halloran) and Andy Jacobson '00; Lisa Belcher;
Ben Kutrieb and Erika Dillon Kutrieb '00; Peter Solomon
'00 and Jason Moss, with special performances by
Kelly Cornelis and Gretchen Hall, who accompanied
Steve and the wedding band in serenading Pam with a rendition
of "Signed, Sealed, Delivered!"
Brant
Wilson married Amy Bartosik in Kansas City, Mo., on Nov.
4. On hand to enjoy the celebration were Chris Hsu,
Robert Kurinsky, Gretchen (Escbacher) Koch,
Robert Gotto and Chris Recker. They plan to remain
in Kansas City, where Brant works at H&R Block and Amy
is at Eli Lilly.

Other News:
Where
in the world is Bendee Anzures? She writes: "(Un)fortunately [I am] back
in San Francisco. Yes, I quit my job at Intuit in September
to travel while I still can and ended my too-short sabbatical
in January to start at Diamond Foods as the director of marketing
(did you see the Emerald Nuts ad during the Super Bowl?).
Some of my travel highlights included a meat and wine tour
of Argentina with Christine Wu,
baby tour of New York with good friends (Robb Hoenick, Marisa O'Connor, Marie-France Nguyen,
Debbie (Rebell) and
Jason Moss), wedding in Oahu for former roommate Ky Vu '00
and Thanksgiving dinner in the Philippines (yes, turkey and
all) with Xandra Ramos and hosted by Dennis Valdes '90. Getting back to
the working world has been nuts (no pun intended)."
Marcus
Arildsson and wife
Carmen de Pablo moved to Madrid last year after a five-year
stint in London. Marcus picked up a job with a small M&A
advisory boutique called Arcano after leaving Merrill Lynch,
and Carmen continues with Morgan Stanley. They had their first
baby, Carmencita, in late 2005. Marcus was part of the Kellogg
team that won the first soccer classic in Madrid against alumni
teams from, among other schools, INSEAD and LBS. He encourages
any visitors to Madrid to get in touch with them.
After
more than five years at Deloitte Consulting in the strategy
and operations group focused on financial services, Simon
Breuer recently joined ABN AMRO Bank in Chicago to start and help build the bank's
business consulting group. He's excited about the opportunity,
but also looking forward to staying in town, where he hopes
to run into more Kellogg people.
Lidan
Yang sends her greetings from the Big Apple. After her
husband, David, accepted a position as head of mortgage research
with Credit Suisse, the family moved to New York City and
Lidan joined Hyperion Brookfield Asset Management in 2005.
She recently became director of RMBS/ABS research. She enjoys
her work and playing with her son Lucas (3). This year's big
project is to get Lucas into a great school. |
