Once again, we received a lot of exciting news to share. Thanks to all contributors! Two common themes were clear: 1.) There are a lot of people coming to Reunion who are excited to catch up with everyone and 2.) No one can believe it has been five years! In case you don't get e-mail, snail mail or phone calls and had no idea that Reunion is coming up, our five-year Reunion is in May! Find out more on the Kellogg Web site. Now, news to keep you current until Reunion:

Last issue's riveting feature on "same employer since graduation" inspired a few more classmates to share their longevity tales of bliss.

Sam Levine writes: "I have been with Bridgespan since graduation and enjoy it tremendously. I just got promoted to manager in December, which is very exciting and gratifying. The work is enjoyable and rewarding, with many of the benefits of consulting (really smart colleagues, new challenges all the time, using your brain to solve complex problems) and a whole bunch of additional perks (the knowledge that your work is contributing to solving society's most important problems, and a better work/life balance!). I'll put out a call to fellow grads who are disenchanted with for-profit consulting to come to the light."

Another "still at the same company" news bit comes from Rob Persaud: "I'm still at PepsiCo, now the brand manager for Aunt Jemima and Quaker Regional Grains." Things are far from the same at home, as he and wife Alison welcomed daughter Harlowe Frances into the world on Dec. 1. She weighed a healthy 8 pounds, 2 ounces, measured 21 inches, and had more hair than the medical community thought possible (though thankfully only on her head). All three Persauds are doing well.

We aren't sure if this counts as a baby boom, but there are quite a few more joyous births to announce. Teresa (Chan) Moye writes: "We were delighted to welcome our baby daughter, Kendall Riley Moye, on May 27. She has been such a joy, and we are very happy to be near family (we moved back to San Francisco two years ago)."

Tobi Laczkowski and his wife, Tiffany, welcomed their second son, Charles Kent, on June 4. Charlie came 10 weeks early, weighing in at 3 pounds, 9 ounces. He's home and is healthy and happy. Big brother Grant is very proud. Tobi is still with ZS Associates and was promoted to manager in December.

Laura and Jim Nollsch are in Denver with "not a whole lot to report other than a baby daughter." Janey Elizabeth Nollsch was born July 31. This was a big birth date, as Andy and Liz Pfau are happy to announce that their daughter, Hannah Michelle Pfau, was born on the same day!

Fran and Wallace Saunders welcomed their second child as well. Wallace "Marshall" Saunders Jr. was born on Sept. 27 and joins big sister Ann Corbett.

On Oct. 5, Jill Carter and husband Justen welcomed their first child, son Liam David Carter. Mom, dad, and baby are doing well, especially now that sleep has returned to the Carter household.

Erica '01 and Ian Norton moved from Chicago to Dallas a little more than a year ago. Erica is still working with The Cambridge Group, and Ian is now working for Cadbury Schweppes Americas Beverages, managing the 7UP brand. Ian writes: "Since both Erica and I are from Texas, it has been really great to be home and closer to our families. On a more exciting note, we welcomed a baby boy named Aidan Michael Norton into the world on Oct. 19. Both mom and dad are adjusting to parenthood and the lack of sleep (mom has definitely been hit the hardest). Unfortunately, a baby-care class was not offered at Kellogg, so we are learning as we go."

Christian Letelier announces the arrival of No. 4: Santiago Letelier, who was born Nov. 13. Christian shares that "life has become more revolutionized, but we are very happy."

Brian and Michele Martin, along with daughter Ella, are proud to announce the arrival of Andrew James Martin on Oct. 30. He weighed in at a healthy 7 pounds, 10 ounces, and already weighed more than 12 pounds by January! Michele sums up their welcomed family addition with the following: "He's our little prince and Ella takes her role as big sister very seriously!"

Ella Martin isn't the only Ella who loves being a big sister. Catherine Barron writes of Dani and her Ella (2) and Jessica (6 months): "They are wonderful and are so much fun." The Barrons moved back to the 'burbs of Chicago in 2004 after about two years in Pittsburgh. Catherine is working for Strategic Leverage Consultants, a small firm in Evanston. They are launching Tangram, a Web-based management tool that makes teams more effective.

Congrats to all these expanding families! Here are some more exciting changes:

Jeff Bougher and family — Susan, Justin and Alex — have moved to China. They're living in Suzhou and Jeff is working in Wuxi as director of operations for Timken. Suzhou is only an hour drive from Shanghai. Jeff notes: "I know with the variety of jobs my classmates have, many of you will be making it to China over the next three years. So if anyone makes it here, please let me know. We can get together either there or here (I'll gladly arrange logistics)." Jeff also shared his perspective on their move: "The transition has been surprisingly easy. The Chinese are wonderfully friendly and go out of their way to help you if you use just a bit of Mandarin (we're all learning it slowly, but steadily)."

In early 2006, Janet Kroes left her role as senior associate at Booz Allen Hamilton to take on a new challenge as senior manager of corporate strategy at TNT N.V., a publicly listed company with revenues of more than ¤10 billion that provides mail and express services.

Stuart Brown shares news of a significant career and weather change: "In May of this year I left Target (and the 10 months of winter in Minneapolis) to return to Atlanta (and its two days of winter) to accept a job with Buckhead Church as a small groups director. My responsibilities include recruiting, developing and training the leaders in our church."

Alyson Gampel shares the exciting news that she married Shawn Saraga on Aug. 27. They had a small, outdoor, casual wedding by the lake in Collingwood, Ontario, Canada (two hours from Toronto), with 120 of their closest friends and family. She also shares her latest professional news: "I just couldn't get enough of the MBA world, so I now direct MBA employment at the Career Development Centre of the Schulich School of Business in Toronto (Schulich is the Kellogg School's Canadian partner for the Executive MBA program). I help MBAs figure out their career objectives and chart courses to achieve these goals. I also work with employers interested in recruiting Schulich MBAs (and undergrad business students and alumni) for internships and full-time opportunities."

Lori (Siegel) '03 and Chip Craw married in May 2005 in St. Louis, Mo. The wedding was gorgeous and attended by Michelle Surhie, Michele Lee, Jay and Megan Marine, and Eric Autio. They honeymooned in Belize at two resorts owned by Francis Ford Coppola. The year prior, they bought a 1916 Craftsman house in Seattle and made their first addition to the family — their dog Ozzie: "He's a 75-pound mutt (part lab, part Rhodesian ridgeback, part sharpei)."

Chip left Amazon in September to join technology startup DS-IQ, which, Chip writes, "has been great. My entrepreneurial spirit is happy and the company is set up for great things. It's got a ton of potential, and I've definitely gotten in on the ground floor. The CEO is a Kellogg guy and the atmosphere here is great."

Ed and Ashley Stubbins are loving life in the O.C. They've seen a lot of '02 alums over the last few months. There is a strong group of alums in Orange County that get together as often as possible, including Geoffrey Lasry, Donna Riley and husband Kevin Bebb, and T.J. Karl.

Ashley and Ed spent Labor Day weekend in New Hampshire/Vermont at Linsey Simpson's wedding along with several other '02 alums. During a vacation in Thailand and Cambodia last November, they visited Kellogg alums including Saiko and Tatsu Suzuki and Dai Ishida on a one-night layover in Tokyo. While in Thailand, they reconnected with classmates Darika Soponawat and Pip (Wattanasiritham) Kulnides over a wonderful Thai lunch.

Pip has had a flood of visitors as Maya and Karthik Vasudevan also visited Pip and husband Nat in Bangkok! They got to meet the Kulnides' lovely newborn Praan. Since Karthik's work takes him on the road quite a bit ("I hit 22 states in the first year and a half"), he has had the opportunity to catch up with a number of our fellow Kelloggians. Here's Karthik's recap of this whirlwind of exciting mini-reunions beyond Bangkok: "In 2007, I have seen Mike and Amanda Hansen in Houston; grabbed a drink with New Yorkers Eddie Wu and Andy Thung; and shared a drink with Dean Jacobs in the Narita Airport Red Carpet Lounge in Tokyo. In the Bay Area, Corinne Foo-Atkins '03, Steve Atkins '03, Barry Grant '03 and I recently hiked along herds of elk in Point Reyes. Steve Pockross and I lightened our pockets of $50 each on 25-cent antes in a poker game that he hosted. Maya and I look forward to seeing Don Angspatt, Megan and Charlie Wyman, and other Bay Area alums in the near future." Karthik and Maya are enjoying living in San Francisco, where Karthik continues to co-lead Hilco Enterprise Valuation Services, a firm providing enterprise and intangible asset valuations for financing and accounting purposes.

Janey Dean married Michael McWhorter on May 20 in Milwaukee. Kellogg friends traveled from California, Minnesota and Illinois to help celebrate. Attendees included Ashley Martorana, Stephanie Gladney, Vanessa Zielke, Katherine Gregory, Courtney (Turner) Mohr, Dorothee (Gutierrez) Fisher, Kristina (Lutter) Bornhoeft and David Bornhoeft '03. The Kellogg ladies hit the dance floor with moves reminiscent of Kellogg Cheesy Wine parties. On their honeymoon in Savusavu, Fiji, at a tiny shack-style airport with a grass landing strip, Janey and Mike ran into two other Kellogg alumni — Brian and Daisy (Hatch) Gauk (both '03) — who also happened to be on their honeymoon! That random Kellogg run-in definitely takes the wedding cake. Janey and Mike reside in San Francisco.

Johnette Kao married Tim Johnson on Nov. 4 in Providence, R.I., with a beautiful reception at the Aldrich Mansion situated on the oceanfront of Narragansett Bay. Classmates in attendance included: Catherine Vaughn (maid of honor), Mike Doheny, Ross Collins, Faith Son, Michelle Awuku, Eric Autio, David Baker, Dave Burke, Dave Walker, Evan Houtrides, Michael Costanzo, Nancy Hoch, Will Whitman, Teresa Lee and Devin Gallagher. Johnette met Tim at Johnson & Johnson, where she has been working since graduation, first in strategic marketing and now in brand management for a newly launched drug. She has enjoyed her experience with the company immensely, so much so that she's now Johnette Johnson of Johnson & Johnson (how's that for alliteration?). Johnette has this request for classmates: "If you're ever in New Jersey, please come and visit!"

Doug Monro writes: "My wife, Kim, gave birth to our first baby, Thomas Robert Monro, on Dec. 20. Mum and dad are doting, but very sleep deprived. Also keeping me busy is a new job as the general manager of Gumtree.com (the United Kingdom's equivalent of craigslist, and part of eBay). All those tech, entrepreneurship and leadership classes need to start paying off now."

We received exciting news from Linsey Simpson. She writes: "I married Lon Gallagher on Sept. 2 in my hometown of Norwich, Vt. Classmates who made the journey to Vermont to celebrate with us included Vanessa Zielke, Katherine Gregory, Mike and Amanda Hansen, Ashley and Ed Stubbins, Alison and Rob Persaud, Brian and Mary Anne (McConnel) Ericson, Dana and Erica (Post) Rabb, Marcus Wunderlich and Stephanie (Gallo) Tyler '99. After nearly four years in California, I left my marketing manager position with the E. & J. Gallo Winery last spring to work for my family's real estate development business back on the East Coast. We are in the process of opening an office in southwest Florida that will offer services similar to those of the headquarters offices in New England. Lon and I are now living in Naples, Fla., and are very much enjoying the 'winter' weather and proximity to the beach."

Brian Lyke married Martha McKeon on May 28 at Lake Lawn Resort in Delevan, Wis. Jason Tennenbaum was his best man. Brian and Martha took a delayed two-week honeymoon in Costa Rica in December. He writes: "My wife is getting her master's degree in biology (thesis on reproductive patterns in African lions), so we spend most of the vacation in the rainforest enjoying the wildlife." Brian is currently a brand manager for World Kitchen (Pyrex) and is living in Chicago.

We would like to echo the sentiments from so many of our contributors: We look forward to seeing everyone at Reunion! We can't believe it has been five years!
