2004 — Full-Time

Consorting with royalty, bringing back "The Big Easy," picking up and moving (cross-country, inter-state, trans-oceanic, intra-neighborhood, multi-cultural, bi-lingual—you name it, it's been done), and shouting "I Do's" from coast to coast are among some of the happenings this time around. Bonus activity: See (and submit) how many Kellogg couples you can spot below. Points awarded to "most correct" and "most creative" answers. Winners announced whenever the next issue comes out.

The gentlemen from Japan send an ohayo to all, along with their latest comings and goings. Kent Nakagawa has joined Boston Consulting Group as a manager. Koji Miura left Bombay for Singapore in February with his firm, Eisai Pharmaceutical. Mikio Kawahara has gone from paper to pills, transferring from Toppan's printing group to its pharmaceutical venture as a director. Nori Kubo notes, "In my case, I did not change my company, but my company changed its name" — SABIC Innovative Plastics was recently divested from GE Plastics. And, lest you think it's been all work and no play for these men, they still manage time for classmate reunions with children in tow .

Class of '04 baby bundles keep arriving, and we happily welcome them into the Kellogg family. Katherine and David Welch received Harrison Walker Welch on Jan. 31, 2007. He joins big brother Corbin (3).

Ojas Wadivkar met up with Mohammed ("Mo") El Hage in Dubai, where Mo works in the strategy department for the Sheikh of Dubai. Ojas writes: "Mo showed me around Dubai and also took me to the Emirates Towers to see his office. Dubai is a neat and exciting city [ed. note: standard consulting understatement]. I was there on a six-week project with AT Kearney." Mo, so when's the alumni GIM trip?

After relocating to Michigan in January 2007 to work for Kellogg Company in Battle Creek, Don and Melea Cumming are excited to announce the arrival of their baby girl, Magnolia Leigh Cumming on Oct. 26. Happily, her big sister Sabina Belle (3) has embraced her baby sister with open arms.

George Ye writes: "I got married in April 2007 and almost simultaneously relocated from N.J. to Southern California for a new job. I moved out of Johnson & Johnson (reluctantly) and started a position with Advanced Medical Optics, an ophthalmic medical device company, where I work in strategy and corporate development. During the job transition, I happily discovered that Kellogg alums had a strong presence in the healthcare sector and either directly led to offers or connected me with strong leads. In fact, my boss is a Kellogg alum and the person who I replaced is too!" Proof that the Kellogg connection helps advance your career. Now send in your class dues. (Jim and Jamie, there's the gratuitous plug I promised.)

Amanda (Nelson) Greenwald and Jason Greenwald are in Indo. Yes, as in Indonesia, and not for the surfing. The Kellogg couple (tell me you spotted this one, the "Nelson" in parentheses is a dead giveaway) moved last fall as Jason is working on the construction of an oil and gas platform for Hess Corporation. Amanda writes, "We are having fun exploring Indonesia and have enjoyed connecting with Tiur Hutabarat, her husband Raymond and baby girl Darlene." Kevin Bae has also recently moved to Jakarta, working as a diplomat at the U.S. Embassy.

Asia-based alums continue to grow in number. Conveniently in time to host all Olympic travelers to the region. Anna (Octaviano) Chua and husband Paul have traded London for Hong Kong this January, as Paul has joined the HK office of Alvarez & Marsal. With an amazing year developing marketing strategy at Zenith Watches U.K. under her belt, Anna is enjoying her transition back to Asia and proximity to family.

Kim Matthews has moved to Houston, where she has switched to the chemicals company within ExxonMobil, is a proud first-time homeowner, has discovered the joys of being an aunt, and is "loving life!"

Weighing in with news from the Northwest, Sam Heyworth writes from Seattle: "The year 2007 was an amazing one for us and we're looking forward to a great 2008. Our daughter Julia was born in May and her big brother Ryan (3) loves making her laugh. I helped launch Amazon MP3, Amazon.com's digital music service, in September, and it is doing extremely well. We also just launched a year-long promotion with Pepsi that lets customers get Amazon MP3 downloads with codes from special bottles. Check it out at PepsiStuff.com. Those work projects have kept me busy but it has been a lot of fun. We enjoy seeing Ashley and Kevin Hagwell and Lauren and Josh Hutto (although it isn't as easy to get out with two kids), and were glad to have Ayesha Harper join the Seattle (and Amazon.com) alums out here recently. For those traveling to Seattle, look us up." Best wishes, Sam and Hwashing Heyworth.

Michael Moran and wife Petra celebrated the birth of their daughter, Lillian, on Sept. 18, a few weeks earlier than expected. Lilly officially owes her parents one Brian Oxley-chaperoned trip to Belgium and France. (So young, and already in such debt!) Everyone is doing well and welcomes visitors to lovely Cleveland.

Buenos Aires has been crossroads central lately, with classmates from around the world passing through for personal and professional reasons. Stacy Gibbons spent Thanksgiving with Juan Pablo Rossi and Maren Lau in November. The trio traded turkey for a steak dinner out and took in the finals of a championship polo tournament when Stacy was not off glacier trekking in Patagonia. Aaron Martin '03 and Sapna Chadha passed through on separate occasions for work, while Rafael Prado dropped in from Peru to see The Police in concert. Martin Claure and wife Carmen visited family and friends in December, on break from their real estate company in Panama City. Gorka Sarasa has been living in Buenos Aires since May, on a consulting project, and is finally off the crutches that had him bar-hobbling instead of hopping these past months (though sympathy had its benefits).

Yumi Clevenger sends her update on the Clevenger-Lee Family. "We have a beautiful daughter, Miyako, who is 18 months old. I am still working at General Mills. Eric is working for Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad. A happy life and happy family."
