1999

It's time for reunions and lots of new family news for the class of '99.

Some of the 4Q girls had a chance to get together in Austin this past May for their own "Kellogg Reunion." It was the first time April Bjornstad, Julie (Sullivan) Owens, Shawna (Gwin) Krasts, Sally Babcock and Kelly Phelps had been together since graduation.

Additionally, Sally Babcock was promoted to SVP/general manager of AmericanGreetings.com so she decided to stay in Cleveland and bought a house. She's been with American Greetings for six years and is "still having a blast."

JP and Krista (Edlund) Gallagher had a baby girl, Lauren Quinn, on June 6. They love life with her and, as Krista says, "She's a champion eater and sleeper, which makes our lives relatively easy."

Other news on the family front includes: Caty (Supper) Fortuin who had a baby girl, Abbey, in February and Kelly (McClenahan) Alpert had a baby girl, Zoe, at the end of June.

Diana Knapp was married to Rick Ledford on Sept. 4. They were married in Diana's hometown of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and headed to Hawaii for their honeymoon.

David Ain is now working as an executive recruiter — is he the first? He joined Egon Zehnder International, after spending a year as VP, corporate development at Indigo Books & Music, Canada's answer to Barnes & Noble. David is the 15th Kellogg alum to join Egon Zehnder International, a global senior executive search firm with 58 offices worldwide. He's trying to feign objectivity on academic credentials Š let's see how that goes! Sons Jonah and Jakob are now 1 and 3 years old.

Jodi (Ginsberg) and Rob Zwiebach are now the parents of two little girls! The latest addition to their family, Danielle Lily, was born on Sept 11. Big sister Molly seems to be doing really well with her little sister, which is a huge relief for mom and dad. Rob, just wait until they're teen-agers!

Keep the news coming and take care!
