EMP-45

Hello Kellogg EMP-45'ers! I hope you are all doing well. I'm living in England, working for Microsoft as an enterprise strategy consultant and having a great time. I've been lucky enough to see a few of you since I've been here but always have room to see more! Here are a few bits of news from a couple of you (if I missed anything, please tell me again. I'd say my memory isn't what it once was, but I don't remember it being any better).

	Kevin Beckett EMP-45 with his children

Ellie and Kevin Beckett are doing great. They are blessed to have three little ones now.

Sean Salmon and Pat Mackin are both at Medtronics. Medtronic is a $13B medical device company that makes implantable devices and minimally invasive surgical tools for a wide array of chronic diseases. Sean runs one of the sectors of their cardiovascular business (drug coated stents etc). And Pat runs the CRDM business (implantable pacemakers and defibrillators).

Cecilia Litvak (formerly Pierro) and her husband adopted two children from Kazakhstan in 2002: Isabella (6) and Anton (8). They are still working in the real estate development market and have two new residential projects opening this summer.

Terry Crews is now in his eighth year as the CFO of Monsanto. It seems to him that time has passed so quickly and he's still enjoying the work and the challenges!

All of our Kellogg forwarding e-mail addresses seem to now be working (except for seven at the time of this writing) so you can reach any of your classmates at their e-mail forwarding address of First Initial, Last Name 2000, @kellogg.northwestern.edu (for example, "KQuincey2000@kellogg.northwestern.edu"). Since we had two "J Murrays," John is JMurray2000 while Jonathan is JMurray12000. Pat Mackin's and Robin Sellar's first initial are both J. Bob Carlstedt is R (well, that one's not too hard to guess), and for anyone who has changed last names since we left, the e-mail routing still uses the old name. These addresses are an important aid in keeping in touch with each other. It also means we don't need to change the e-mail addresses in our address books every time anyone changes companies or ISPs. The seven lost sheep at the moment are: Brian Pereira, Dorothy Hawkins, Essie Eisenfeld, Jeffrey Hamilton, Michael Irving, Scott Kushino and Scott Ragan.

If you have their current e-mail addresses or are in contact with any of them, please let me know so I can help them reconnect their Kellogg e-mail forwarding to an active e-mail box. If anyone would like to help facilitate a mini-reunion anytime between this summer and next summer, please let me know. It doesn't take a lot of time but helps us immensely to have a local expert who knows places to go and stay in your current or past locales. And finally, please please please send me some short updates on what's new in your world (work, travel, family, photos or other). I miss all of you!
