TMP
2003
As
the summer came to an end, your fellow alums were busy. Below
are updates from those who wrote in.
Hakan
Hazneci got married in October last year in Turkey.
A bunch of people from the U.S. came to the wedding. Steve
Simsic TMP 2002 did enjoy the Turkish bath and the belly dancers.
Hakan is now living in Shanghai, China.
David
Chan and his wife, Sue, had a baby in April. From
a work perspective, he is responsible for starting a "China
Desk" here in Chicago for the U.S. firm at KPMG. The goal
is to assist U.S. clients to invest in companies in China.
Because of that role, he has been traveling to China quite
a bit.

where he was managing Kraft's Vietnam and Indonesian coffee-buying
offices. He's still with Kraft (Maxwell House) and now manager
green coffee buying North America working out of Tarrytown,
N.Y.
Anne
Prasse and her husband, Dale, just moved to San Diego.
John
Bye was promoted to associate practice executive
at his company, Campbell Alliance. And he and his wife, Chris,
raced the Lake Placid Ironman in July.
Alex
Kent and Jamie Scaletta were married March 13, in
Kapalua Bay, Maui. Alex and Jamie will be moving to Mountain
View, Calif. in October. Alex will join Cornish & Carey
Commercial as a vice president — providing commercial
real estate corporate client transaction management and institutional
investment solutions.
Lisa
(Kurasz) Ha and her husband Tony have relocated from
Chicago to Atlanta. Lisa is working as an IT governance manager
at SunTrust Bank, and Tony is a project manager for Miller
Zell.
After
spending the summer house-hunting, Rick Pollock
and his wife, Kelly, and son, Evan, bought a house in Oak
Park, Ill. Rick also started a new job as the program director
of the program management office of a Chicago-based start-up
firm.
Holly
Jones and her husband Bill welcomed their second
child, August Edwin, on Aug. 11. August is named after grandpas
and great-grandpas, not the month in which he was born. That
was completely coincidental. Their daughter, Emily, is an
excellent big sister to her new little brother! All are adjusting
well to being a family of four.
