Fran (Brasfield) Langewisch '95 wed Bob Langewisch in May.

1995

Kellogg '95 has been busy as usual with job changes, marriages and other life-changing events. Here are the details.

Martha Golub is now a mommy following the birth of her daughter, Zoe. In January, she left Digitas, a marketing and technology consulting firm where I was vice president and director of marketing, to be a full-time mom. She's loving being able to stay at home with Zoe and has recently been doing some contract consulting work from home. She lives with her husband, Todd, in Newton, Mass., just outside of Boston.

Mark Lamps moved to the east suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio. He has taken a position (transfer) as director of manufacturing for the Pentair Water Treatment Chardon plant. He and his wife, Anne, now have two children, Joseph and Maria. The most interesting thing he did last summer was go to Colombia for his brother's wedding. It's truly a beautiful country that would be an amazing mecca for tourists if not for the internal strife. He is looking forward to visiting again in the future.

Ade-Satiawati Ihromi sent her best wishes from Indonesia "even though conditions in the U.S. are very tense and sad." She will always pray for her friends at Kellogg and people in the United States in general.

Jack Gillis reports that he is still working at AG Edwards with Scott Gill.

Jeffery Hyman and Rachel Bass '96 are thrilled to announce their wedding plans. Jeff writes: "Well, it only took 16 years!!" After attending Wharton undergrad and Kellogg together, Jeff finally proposed, and the wedding will be later this year. Jeff recently left his position at Heidrick & Struggles LeadersOnline to start his second company, Talent Agency. Rachel is the head of marketing at E-Trade. Both Jeff and Rachel live in San Carlos, Calif.
In April, Diamond Cluster International named Ed Brady a partner at the global management consulting firm. Ed graduated from Kellogg with concentrations in marketing, management strategy and international business.

Fred Lancia has joined Alvesta as vice president of sales. He will be responsible for managing Alvesta's worldwide direct and indirect sales channels.

Dave Holecek left Searle/Monsanto almost a year ago after the Pharmacia merger (but not with enough cash to lure him away from Chicago to N.J.). He says he's been busy playing Mr. Mom with his second child, Catherine; remodeling their house; and incorporating his own pharmaceutical consulting business.

Wil Wilhelm, Elaine Riggs Wilhelm '94, and their daughters Lauren and
Sophie have relocated to Hong Kong for two years, where Wil will continue running the Asia Pacific business for Sprint. Before leaving, Wil went on a two-week motorcycle ride last summer through the United States with classmate Tom Palmer, and they had an incredible ride.

Delphine Hibon says that after living the nomadic life for a year and a half, first in San Francisco, then in London, she is now back in New York. She has started a new job with L'Occitane en Provence (a great place for your holiday shopping, hint, hint!) and she has no plans to move for quite a while!

Ann (Law) Woods writes that she and her husband relocated to Atlanta last June so that he could begin work with Delta Airlines. She finished up with Disney in Chicago, where she was general manager of DisneyQuest, an innovative indoor theme park. She joined Disney in 1999 to open up DisneyQuest and ended up closing it this fall. "It was sad. It's not often that you have the unique pleasure of laying off about 250 employees, including yourself."

Nicole Timan O'Rourke recently made a move from Johnson & Johnson's
McNeil Consumer Healthcare to Aetna, where she is the director of branding and advertising. She started on Halloween and so far, things have been going very well. She is busy writing a new marketing strategy for the company, working on new advertising and trying to hire a few more bodies to make things happen. Her husband, Mark, and she very much enjoyed seeing a number of Kellogg folks over the holidays at a party hosted by Jane Hunter Walsh and her husband. It was great to catch up with Heidi and Matt Carey, Laura and Jon Mattson, Avery Schmeiser and Frank Hardart. Also at the party were Charlotte Cudlip Bartol, her husband Perry, and their brand-new son,
Henry Hone Bartol, born Nov. 28. Actually, he wasn't that little...he was 10 pounds, 2 ounces at birth and is growing quickly. Henry is adorable - only about a month old and already a social star. I also was able to catch up with Linda Plate at a lunch the following day. She's in Boston, running hospitals and keeping very busy skiing in the winter and sailing in the summer.

Claudio Ludovisi was back on campus as a guest lecturer at Kellogg for Professor Kozinets, who teaches the entertainment marketing class! Dave Mathias recently left eLogic. Scott Martin spent a couple of holiday events with several of our classmates, and with many of our new family additions, i.e., kids.

Holly and Ed Brady were in Chicago for a holiday visit with new son Alexander. Joining Liz, myself and daughter Madeline for a duck dinner were Molly and Randy Grudzinski and daughter Alexandra; Dan Hillenbrand; John Honney; Tim Urquhart; John Stickford; and Laura and Stephen Linen. On New Year's Day, Kristi and Ken Hedley and daughter Samantha joined us for bowl games and black-eyed peas. Several of the above were also in attendance along with Scott Yates '94 and Matt Boler - it was great to see all, and especially to continue our New Year's Day tradition with our kids this year.
Dodie (Sutro) Crawford is also a mommy for the first time. She and her husband, Peter, welcomed Samuel Sutro Crawford into the world on March 30. He weighed in at 8 pounds, 1 ounce and 20 inches long. We got a "once-in-a-year greeting from a lazy bum living in the Far East" - Masayasu Ariyoshi. He gave up sending Christmas cards last year because he was busy with the birth of Yuma. His company, Power to the People Inc., entered its third fiscal year, and is still surviving. He hopes to expand his strategic alliances to the mobile and broadband solution areas, and will publish a Japanese "Consumers' Buyers Guide." His daughter continues to get bigger. She was almost 12 kilograms on Christmas, which was her first birthday. "This young girl's favorites are Winnie the Pooh, a Japanese doll, bananas,
Japanese noodles, riding in a swing, and cats."

In January, Liz Wald finished her incredible year of travel with a wonderful two-month jaunt to New Zealand. She tried everything from bungee jumping to skydiving, and managed to come home in one piece - and has the pictures to prove it. She also managed to squeeze in a very short visit to Sydney and a great two-week trip to Maui and Kaua'i with Jane Bieneman. Liz is now back in NYC and will have to start thinking about a job. All ideas are welcome! In the meantime, she will be training for a cross-country race to raise money for
research into myotonic dystrophy, a form of muscular dystrophy that afflicts members of her family.

Thomas Duester recently relocated from the Bay Area to Amsterdam, where he is enjoying living in a typical 17th-century Dutch house right on the canals. After the demise of his DSL company in San Francisco, he is planning to weather the high-tech storm on the West Coast by living and working in Europe for a few years. He is currently planning to revive the activities of the Netherlands' Kellogg alumni club, together with the Belgian chapter, with a series of events in the Netherlands in 2002. In January, Alex Woodthorpe sent news that he was about to move to Hong Kong, and he thought he might advertise the fact should any of our class be out there. He is moving as a managing director in the equity capital markets group to originate equity deals in the Asia-Pac region, and it would naturally be great to hear from anybody
passing through Hong Kong.

Rajan Shah is doing great at EarthLink, leading the brand marketing of the company's new Wireless Internet group. He hit the Caymans recently and finally learned to dive! He is on the West Coast all the time and hopes to get back in touch with Kellogg alumni. He saw Michelle Quinones in Pasadena recently, which was great, and is looking forward to catching up with others soon. Wendy Yanowitch continues to be happily based in San Francisco. She was recently named executive director of the Just Think Foundation (www.justthink.org). Just Think works to improves kids' critical and analytical thinking by giving them media, literacy, arts and technology training. Some of the Just Think kids recently screened their videos, short films and public service announcements at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival/Gen Y division.
Art Muldoon left Corbis on the first of the year - anybody know where he is now?

Kevin Charlton and his wife, Amy, and their twin boys Harrison Thornton Charlton and Samuel Thornton Charlton are doing well. The twins were born on Sept. 26 and are doing great. Sam lucked out, as his godparents will be our classmates Laura Fitch Mattson and Jon Mattson.

Ruth Veloria says: "After more than six years at BCG, I will be leaving to join the Schwab Business Strategy Group or 'BSG,' beginning March 1. I will be working a four-day week Monday through Thursday for Dan Leemon, another BCG alum, to help Schwab through its next industry transformation - from electronic brokerage to unbiased adviser."

Win Reis always has a good update, and here is his story. "In the past year, I've survived three rounds of layoffs at HP, had three different managers, launched the IT industry's first usage-based leasing program for servers, and am now in charge of business planning for HP's utility pricing programs. Thanks to HP-mandated vacation last year, I was able to play a lot of golf, get my handicap back down to 10, and spend some quality time on the links with Marie. Tommy (4) loves preschool and can't wait to go to school every day
when he starts kindergarten in the fall. Gordon (2) is even more obsessed with trains than his older brother, as if we thought that was even possible. We now refer to them collectively as 'The Train Boys.'"

Mike Wise (finally) got married this summer to Kristine Rebello in Jackson Hole. Their wedding was the weekend of the forest fires around Jackson Hole and Yellowstone. Somehow they managed to pull it off. Ken Hedley has a baby daughter, Samantha. Scott Martin is still at A.T. Kearney. Linda Lewis has left the consulting firm she co-founded and returned to having a boss and wearing business suits. She joined Spencer Trask & Co., a private equity firm in New York that invests in, and raises capital for, early-stage technology, software, telecom, and biotech companies. She is vice president, venture banking. Her new e-mail address is llewis@spencertraskco.com.

Margaret (Godfrey) Douglas says that despite the ups and downs of a professional life in the Internet space, her family life has been the greatest! She and her husband, David, welcomed their first child, Thomas Lloyd Douglas, on April 17, 2001. He's more than a year old now and is a happy (giggly) little boy. She thoroughly enjoyed a six-month, part-time maternity leave to get him off to a good start in life. And, she also changed her name from Godfrey to Douglas, just to celebrate her new family status.

She writes, "Meanwhile, what had been something of a dream job directing Strategic Consulting (including several Kellogg grads) for Giant Step turned into a roller coaster. Client budgets shrunk, competition pummeled our margins and we just couldn't continue strategy consulting as a stand-alone offering. We also went through a round or two of management turnover, which created a new space toward the top. I lost the consulting group but was promoted to vice president of sales and marketing and ultimately client partner of the newly merged NOVO/Giant Step. We continue to do great Web sites, CRM programs and marketing campaigns for clients like GM, Kraft and
LexisNexis. I miss the strategy focus, but am surely learning as I get increasingly involved in technology, design and ethnographic research."

Nick Wood has had a number of recent developments in his life. The most important is that he married Christi Raftery (on Oct. 27. They spent a two-week honeymoon between Bali and Thailand. On the work front, he was recently made a managing director at Salomon Smith Barney, co-heading U.S. derivative sales.

From Mark Ball: "Patience Marime-Ball '96 and I moved from New York to Washington, D.C., last August, and recently settled into a house right across the street from the National Zoo (so it feels like we're still in New York). I ran the NY marathon last November - finished in 4:08:59. Would have broken the four-hour mark if it weren't for the cramps, dizzy spells, and extreme exhaustion. Thanks to everyone who sponsored my run with contributions to support the family of a college friend who passed away in the WTC tragedy."

Andrew Schadt is still with Morgan Stanley in NYC, having run directly from the WTC to the altar. He was married on Sept. 29 to Kristen Daley in Cohasset, Mass. In attendance were Jim Murphy, Ross Williams, Steve Frangione, John Haegele, Lauren '83 and Charlie Baker '86, Michelle Goodman '80, Bob Beeby '59 and Jim McManus '56.

And finally a note from Kelley Rich. But first, it is worth noting something here. As you all may remember, when I started out as a first-year, my son Ben was only two weeks old. Ann and I joined Joint Ventures to meet some other couples. Our first dinner was held at the home of Kelley and Kris Rich. At the time, they only had a dog or two. Now Ben is about to turn nine. He enjoyed going to the Final Four with me and he beat me in the brackets by over 50 points. His brother, Sam, recently turned 5, and I turned 40 in March. For many of you who remember my son as a little baby boy, you would be very surprised by how he looks now. But as I wrap this up, I have to wonder one thing. How is it that Kelley passed us up with her third? "Kris and I welcomed our third child, Nolan McKee Rich, on April 16, 2001. Big brother Nathan (4) and big sister Haley (2) are enjoying entertaining their little brother. He is a happy, loving, beautiful redhead with a great sense of humor and a deep belly laugh! I returned to South Carolina Johnson (yes, I'm still with the same company!) after maternity leave to a new position: technology acquisition manager. I am responsible for acquiring external technology to support our new product development effort (in-licensing, co-development, patent acquisitions, etc.). Kris is still working in strategy at Motorola and working hard on turning our basement into a playroom (we have to have somewhere to put all these kids and toys!)."
