Mikko Rieger and Nimesh Ranjan, both ’06, took the opportunity to try some authentic southern Indian food during Mikko’s trip to New York. The way of eating this thin bread roll might differ from the intended way of eating it, Mikko notes.

Mathew Forti writes: “Sarah and I are thrilled to announce the birth of our daughter, Emily Bella Forti. She was born at 5:06 a.m. March 16, weighing 7 pounds, 7 ounces and measuring 21 inches long. Please let us know if you are in Boston so we can introduce you to Emily! Mom and Dad are still working at CVS Pharmacy and Bridgespan, respectively. Dad managed to get himself stuck in London during the volcanic ash cloud. He was there with Andrew Youn to receive a Skoll Award for Social Entrepreneurship to recognize the work of One Acre Fund. A huge thanks to the 100-plus 2006ers who continue to support our work and have allowed us to grow to 23,000 families in just four years!”

Other fun stuff: Mikko Rieger writes: “Having been invited to a wedding in New York, my wife Satu and I took the opportunity to try some authentic southern Indian food with close Kellogg friend Nimesh Ranjan.”

Survival was the name of the game when Omer Atesmen, Chris Keating, Bo Parfet, Chris Murphy and Dave Hall helicoptered into the remote BaldFace Resort in southeastern British Columbia near the town of Nelson. These five lads represented Kellogg during three days of epic powder and tree skiing which included a historic "first descent" — skiing a mountain face that had never been skied before. The team started off the weekend with the requisite avalanche training and ended the weekend with blurry vision from all the snowy faceshots. They were very thankful for the Austrian ski chants which proved critical to the group's safe-keeping. Of the three separate groups at BaldFace during that week, the Kellogg crew was the only group not to require Medevac helicopters for broken legs. Knock on wood that they will continue to be that lucky in the future. Finally, and most importantly, they spotted Big Foot hucking a 30-foot cornice with a buttery smooth Daffy-triple-twisted-mute-grab-invert. It was “Go Time.” What up?

Special thanks to Chris Keating for organizing and absolutely shredding as always!
