I hope everyone is enjoying summer. I'm a bit short of news this time, but my thanks to those who sent me notes. I encourage more of you to do the same.

Eric Harris wrote to say that he is still with Merrill Lynch as a director in the investment banking group in New York. He is currently working on internal strategy in the office of the chairman. He attended this year's Kellogg BMA conference and was looking forward to meeting with fellow classmates Spurgeon Robinson, William Lampley and Gerald Wolff among others.

Chris Jogis sent in a nice long update. In Chris' words (slightly modified), "Amy and I are enjoying living in Larchmont, N.Y. but our big news is that we welcomed a new addition to our family. Our daughter Kimberly Ann was born Feb. 22. We're totally excited about being new parents! Everything is going fine, although she had colic which made the first few months difficult with very little sleeping and much crying. Thankfully things have calmed down. Amy has decided to stay home with Kimberly for the next few years, giving up her job at JP Morgan/Chase, which will be a big change in lifestyle for us. Professionally, I moved from NFL Properties to Pepsi about a year-and-a-half ago to develop marketing programs around Pepsi's Major League Baseball and Major League Soccer sponsorships. I'm now moving to a new marketing role, outside of sports marketing for the first time, working on new product development. It's a great opportunity for me to broaden my marketing knowledge. We'll see how it goes. All in all, a lot of change, all of which we feel very blessed and fortunate about."

Bruce Angus has taken the opposite path from Chris and returned to the world of sports. Bruce recently took a new job with a sports management firm based in Hartford, Conn. Susie Silver took a new position with Kraft and is now a senior manager for strategic alliances. I ran into Mark Lucas during a brief visit to Minneapolis and learned that he has left the world of medical devices for a new job with a real estate development firm -- a welcome change that requires no travel. Mark lives with Amy, daughter CC (and bulldog Agatha) in Minneapolis.

Kathleen Miller and Milt Liu were married in San Diego on Feb. 3. They celebrated with many Kellogg friends, including John Stellato, Jeff Luhnow, Greg and Jessica Coleman, Murray Brozinsky, Chris Esmonde, Alex Brown, Susie Silver, Susan Kaufman Valtz, Ned Ward and his wife Noriko '96, David Pope and Beth Houle '95, Mark Cozzi '92, Chris Myers '92, John LeMay '93, David Josephs '93, Karen Hohenstein '95, Lucas Liu '96. Kathleen and Milt took a long honeymoon to Bali and South Africa and are now settled in Chicago where Milt is with Flying Foods and Kathleen is exploring new opportunities, out of the consulting world.

More and more babies. Matt Crozier and his wife, Kelly, welcomed their second daughter, Louisa Gray, March 2. Matt, Kelly, big sister Grace and Louisa live in Concord, Mass. Dan Evarts, his wife Tray and daughter Sayle welcomed a new baby brother, Tyler Stone on Feb. 12. The foursome lives in Cambridge, Mass. Kate and Mike Schoenle welcomed their third child, David Michael, on May 11. The Schoenles live in London where Mike recently completed the London marathon.

I will end with a bit of a mini-reunion recently taken by myself and fellow alums Sally and Scott Pofcher, Lisa and Mike Axelrod, Connie and Jeff Walsh '93 and Amy Rose and Allen Weinberg. We met in Captiva Island, Fla., for a week's vacation. With four children under the age of two, it was more of a family trip than a vacation, but we were able to squeeze in some golf, tennis, and pool between naps, snacks and arguments over toys. It was a great get-together and a lot of fun to spend time with friends. As soon as we returned, I felt the need for another vacation.

That is all for this time. I hope everyone has an enjoyable summer. If you have time, send me a note and let me (and others) know what you have been up to.
