2003 — Part-Time

Thanks to those who submitted updates. I am sure there are a lot more newsworthy things going on, so please get these to me for future issues.

Ryann (Plinska) Greve married Kevin Greve in Maui on Nov. 22. She writes: "We were joined by immediate family in person and other family and friends (Kelloggians included) in spirit. We married in bare feet on a private cove beach and managed to beat the rain (a sign of good luck!) until after we said 'I do.' Implementing the change management skills I learned at Kellogg, I directed the wedding party to switch to a sunnier beach for more photos. The celebration culminated in a lovely brunch at the Wailea Golf Club, where I resisted the temptation to shoot a round in my wedding dress. On our honeymoon, we bodysurfed, snorkeled, kayaked, surfed, hiked, luau'd, volcano'd, paid $6 for a gallon of milk and forgot about the rest of the world for a couple of weeks. We were greeted by Milwaukee with a 63-degree temperature drop and a foot of snow, which was just sick and wrong. I am back to work marketing motorcycles for Harley-Davidson, and Kevin's patients are happy to have their favorite physical therapist home. As they say in Hawaii, aloha and mahalo for everyone's well wishes!"

Inna Drut married last March. She's still at Blue Cross Blue Shield Association doing Internet project management.

Christine (Schneider) Arylo is a one-on-one life coach for women. Her book, Choosing ME Before WE, will be out this spring. She also started a small executive and corporate communications company called NovaStoria with a friend in Chicago. The company helps leaders inspire people inside their organization to action with communications vs. killing them with PowerPoint or trying to "sell them" into something.

Brian Gallagher is making progress on his "demand response" energy management business in Chicago, and he appreciates the ability to develop leads through the Kellogg network. His son is a junior studying molecular biology at Illinois, and attended the recent Kellogg biotech conference to network for a summer research position. His daughter is a freshman at Indiana studying international relations, and was selected to be the Friday cartoonist for the daily paper.

Erika Gimbel started a new job with Hyde Park Group, a marketing and advertising firm started by another Kellogg alum, Mary Haderlein '82. Erika has two girls, Sylvie (3) and Maxine (1).

Lee Kotler recorded the best year — just over $30 million — in commercial and residential sales for a first-year associate in Arthur Goldner & Associates' 30-year history.

Vicki, Justin and Steve Wooledge welcomed Brandon James Wooledge into the world on Sept. 29. Steve continues to work at Business Objects as a director of product marketing for business intelligence software.

Judith Chaisiri submitted this update from The Big Apple: "I've moved to New York and can often be found partying at the latest PaperDoll gig. By day, I'm playing with plastic. If you have an opinion on corporate cards, you know where to find me."

Thanks for the updates. As you go through these or other life experiences, keep your classmates up to date by forwarding me your news — births, weddings, jobs, hobbies or anything else noteworthy.
