2007— Full-Time

It was great to see a lot of you at Reunion, and for those of you who weren't there, you missed out! I didn't get very many updates this quarter, so please let this column be a reminder to let your classmates know what you're up to.

 
  Geoffrey Tsang ‘07 (front row) got together with his parents, Eric and Catherine Tsang, his sister (front right), and his wife Tania (front left) to celebrate the arrival of the couple’s daughter, Rachel. The Tsangs live in Hong Kong.
   

Geoffrey Tsang's wife, Tania, gave birth to a baby girl, Rachel Tsang, on Aug. 15 in the couple's hometown of Hong Kong. Geoffrey writes, "I was too busy learning how to take care of a newborn and didn't get the photo to Class Notes last time, so this is the first time we are introducing her. Tania and I are still learning new things on baby care every day, but at least now we are experts in changing diapers and feeding!" The Tsangs live in Hong Kong, where Geoffrey is employed by The Boston Consulting Group.

Pablo and Tiffany Bernal welcomed son Samuel on March 24. Sammy attended his first Kellogg Reunion at just 5 weeks of age and met many '07 grads during a brief appearance at Jake Melnick's. Tiffany writes that he is looking forward to seeing his new Kellogg friends again soon!

Liam Krehbiel hosted a Pong tournament during Reunion weekend. The prize was nick-naming rights to Liam and Karen's son; winners Josh Palacios and Will Owen chose Wolfgang. Liam's wife, Karen, was considering her veto options at press time.

Ishai Froind had a good excuse for missing Reunion: he was in Israel for a three-week vacation with his family. The Froinds are back in the States, and I had the pleasure of having lunch with Ishai in May. He is working at eBay as a product manager.

A party honoring Lebbonee Price and Tad Kittredge provided an excuse for a cross-class get-together of alums in the Bay Area on May 17. Attendees from the class of '07 included Sara Borthwick, Janet Zhou, Melissa (Jones) Gregory and Chris Gregory.

Bryan Campbell recently relocated to San Francisco after surviving a grueling winter in Boston. His new swank pad in the Noe Valley neighborhood of San Francisco, which he shares with Krista Plaisted, is rumored to have not one but three patios. Brace yourselves for a long summer of Saturday afternoon beers in their backyard!

Micah Murphy will finish training in Rhode Island in this spring. He writes, "After rolling across the country, I should be getting to Seattle in August and will probably have just enough time to park my car, hop on a plane and fly to the Arabian Gulf to join up with the Abraham Lincoln Strike Group for a few more months of fun in the sun."

Josh Mandel is working for Novartis Oncology and finished his rotation in West Palm Beach in May. Not a bad place to spend the winter! The morning after Reunion, Josh relocated to New York and was set to begin working from the company's Florham Park, N.J., headquarters.

Anthony Shontz, wife Ashley and their three children have decided to stay in Switzerland for another year. They have a blog where they post pictures of their adorable family weekly. Get in touch with Anthony if you are interested in taking a look.

Liz Henry, Beth Stevens and Paulita David are spearheading an effort to bring Kellogg Ski Trip back, tentatively scheduled for Feb. 4-8. The event is modeled on 2008's successful Bring Wednesday Back series, as well as on Milwaukee Day. No word on whether Old Style will be served, but join the Facebook group "Bring Kellogg Ski Trip Back 2009" if you want to get in on the action.
