Rachel
Brecher writes, "On Oct. 13, I got married to Clay
Daricek in Manchester, N.H. Even though it was October, we
were able to have a beautiful outdoor sunset ceremony. It
was the perfect fall-in-New-England setting, including the
slightly frosty weather. We were so grateful to have so many
Kellogg friends with us to help celebrate! We honeymooned
in the Cook Islands in the South Pacific, and we live in Boston."

Su
Jin and husband JP Yao welcomed Sophie Sufei Yao to their
family on March 23. Su Jin writes, "Caring for a newborn
turned out to be a lot more work than I anticipated but is
truly worth it as it brings us so much joy to watch her grow
every day. Sophie is a happy baby and we are so blessed to
have her." Su Jin will be returning to work in June as
director of international operations at Schneider Logistics.
Masahiro
Hagiwara writes, "Masako and I had our daughter, Karina,
last November. We are all happy and healthy. We spent an early
summer vacation in Hawaii and enjoyed an opportunity to welcome
her as a Kellogg family."
David
Wittkowsky writes, "Lots of work travel this winter
has meant opportunities to connect with friends from Kellogg.
I had breakfast with Cristina Aquino and Ryan Thies
in Ann Arbor, Mich., in March. Cristina is working in advanced
product marketing at Ford Motor Co., focusing on new features
and technologies for future vehicles, and Ryan is operations
manager at Stout, Risius, Ross. He works under the CFO/COO
of the company, touching all different sides of operations,
from HR to finance to IT. In Denver, Scott Blanding
is thriving in his finance role at DCT Industrial, a real
estate firm that focuses on light industrial properties in
the U.S. and Mexico. Scott and wife Leesa recently closed
on a new house in Denver's Platt Park neighborhood, and their
first child is on the way. Kelly Donahoe and wife Celeste
are in Seattle. Kelly is in software marketing at Microsoft,
and Celeste is traveling often in her position with SAP. In
my world, Walgreens purchased my employer, Whole Health Management,
in March, along with our longtime competitor, CHD Meridian.
Now we're working through all the integration issues to create
Walgreens' new health and wellness division."

Forti writes, "Enjoying life and work here in
Boston. I am a consultant with Bridgespan, helping to advise
nonprofits on how to be more effective. Sarah is working
for CVS/pharmacy as a marketing manager, and getting us a
nice employee discount! The One Acre Fund board got together
during Reunion weekend in early May at Kellogg. On behalf
of all of the Kellogg 2006 board members (Diana Lee,
Amy Hsiao, Jason Maga, Paul Wormley,
Taira Hall and Andrew Youn), thanks to all who
have generously supported us and enabled us to grow from just
40 families two years ago to 2,000 today! If you are interested
in learning more about joining our "Investment Council,"
please visit our Web site: oneacrefund.org or send
me an e-mail. Let Sarah and I know if you are ever in Boston;
the Kellogg crew here needs a reason to get together!"
Jericho
Seguin writes, "Eyal Karsh and I started Karsh &
Seguin Career Consultants (KarshSeguinLLC.com), a high-end
career consulting firm. We're happy that the venture is picking
up steam, and we're having a great time getting students and
young adults into some terrific careers. Last year I joined
the board of the Alliance Fran¨aise in Chicago and hope that
some classmates made it to our 2008 gala. Happy to report
that my little sister has made a move from Wall Street to
the Thai city of Udon Thani, where she is a Peace Corps volunteer;
this will be a great excuse for a visit to Thailand where
I hope to reconnect with some good friends and Kellogg classmates.
In the meantime, if anyone is interested in some sailing on
Lake Michigan, please e-mail me at Jericho.Seguin@KarshSeguinLLC.com."
