Linda Bracken EMP-37 with her baby girls, Jenna Grace and Tara Lynn

Linda Bracken sent in some exciting news: "I had twin baby girls on Sept. 28. Jenna Grace Bracken and Tara Lynn Bracken weighed in at 6 pounds each and are both doing great. My girls are bringing so much joy into my life.

"My other 'baby,' YJT Solutions, is also doing great. For those who don't know, Rob Merrilees and I co-founded YJT six years ago to help trading firms and financial institutions leverage technology and apply ideas. We have been growing consistently each year and now have more than 30 employees in our practice. We are doing some interesting consulting projects in both Chicago and New York City, as well as providing our clients with 24-7 infrastructure support tailored to the trading industry. In 1999 Rob founded (and still runs) Spot Trading, a proprietary options trading firm in Chicago."

Linda says she is eager to catch up with all of you and hear what's happening in your worlds. Contact her at Linda.Bracken@YJTSolutions.com.

Art Handman writes: "I've taken on a new role at Energizer, as vice president/general manager of our North American battery business, now called the Energizer household products division, as we have businesses like lighting products and devices as well. It is the single largest business unit in Energizer Holdings (the parent company), and includes both the U.S. and Canada, with full cross-functional and P&L responsibility. If it isn't old news, I'd add a thanks to Kellogg and our classmates. The learning I got in our two years together was a critical part of getting to this role."
