Vanishing Bachelors:

It seems that even several 43-year-old guys you thought were destined for terminal bachelorhood couldn't run forever. I mean, we've got some shockers for you!

Exhibit A: Carter Cash 'n Carry Cast just married at age 43 — our boy's all grows up! Just like Forrest Gump, Carter married the girl across the street. He writes, "Allyson is my dad's medical partner's daughter who grew up an aging Brett Farve stone's throw from me in Fort Wayne, Ind. Several classmates attended the wedding, including Doug Struckman and Matt Collier, who were ceremony participants. Doug, (who jumped out of our cake in a thong), looked exactly like he did at Kellogg, and Matt looked Austin Powers sexy, like he's living the traveling-partner-at-Bain life, sleeping on Hilton's heavenly mattresses but drifting downstairs to munch on the happy hour pigs-in-a-blanket. Both guys are happily married to women much smarter and more charming than they are. As for me, I manage Walmart.com and still pay homage to Professor Bob Blattberg."

Ruthanne Pressman snared Gary Zentner and the two were married in New York City in 2005. Gary writes, "We were both living in New York prior to the engagement, but decided to get a head start on the rest of you, so we moved to West Palm Beach, Fla. Ruthanne works as an acupuncturist in a chiropractor's office and I now work more closely with my family's real estate development firm. I am overseeing the county approval process for a 600-unit apartment rental community in Fort Pierce. I joined Bear Lakes Country Club in West Palm Beach and I golf as often as I can. I recently connected with Gary Leff and played golf with him while he was vacationing in Florida."

Great news: Bruce Guthrie married Julia Snow Davis in July at Seattle's Woodland Park Zoo. She's a Princeton grad and earned an MBA at the University of Chicago. Kellogg attendees included Chris Guthrie '00, Lou Guthrie, Bill Guthrie '59, Tom Minar '87, Steve McKay '93, Susan Bell (Morrow) '99 and Langdon Alger '90. The Guthries live in Seattle's Wallingford area. Meanwhile, Bruce is running for U.S. Senate as a Libertarian: Free minds and free markets!

Now for normal news:

Fellow Baltimorean Ed Meigs lives here in "Clipper City," where he manages a high-yield bond portfolio for Dwight Asset Management, a Burlington, Vt.-based money manager. I've been doing the same thing with different business cards for about 10 years. Ed and Gillian have two daughters, Jenny (9) and Lucy (7).

Allen DeYoung took his family to Budapest to try out the goulash (quite good) and the Paprikash (awesome)! Allen also completed the New York City half-marathon without an iPod (not on purpose). His branding and marketing research consulting is going well; he helped Tampa Bay re-brand and Time Inc., launch a new magazine gift-subscription product. George Corrigan is apparently doing quite well as a stand-up comedian. Riff recently met several comedians from the stand-up school that he attended and they told me that George is really making them laugh. Anyone in Section 65 — even the guy with a piece of straw in his mouth — could have told you that 16 years ago.

Kevin Sidders recently left his job as a managing director at Credit Suisse in tech I-banking and has been enjoying his first extended time off since Kellogg: "After strongly considering relocating, we have decided to keep the family in the Bay Area and I'm now beginning to look at new opportunities here. Thinking about private equity, hedge fund or something entrepreneurial."

Brad Hafer and family spent a week at Cape Cod with Carol and Jim Kinney and Co., but any pictures from that trip are completely banned!

Kenneth Glickstein recently joined Braddock Holdings as managing director of private equity. He is responsible for identifying, evaluating and structuring private equity investment opportunities and for working with portfolio companies to maximize value creation. He writes, "Robin, Addie and I continue to enjoy life in Denver, although it pains me just a bit to hear my daughter proudly refer to herself as a "mountain girl." I do talk to Charles Meyers and Andrew Todhunter on a regular but infrequent basis. Charles was last seen enjoying his free time after leaving Level 3 and planning a summer of travel for him and his family. Andrew is now president and COO of KAPCO-VALTEC (formerly KAPCO) which has grown quite impressively during his tenure there."

Kent Lindstrom is president of Friendster Inc., a social networking firm. "I took over the top spot in February, having served as CFO for the previous two years. We are funded by venture firms Kleiner Perkins and Benchmark Capital."

Karee and Chris Rhoades are proud to announce the birth of their third boy, Tillman Jonathan who joins brothers Harrison (4) and Griffin (2). Chris continues as CEO of his Maine-based, two-store Rhoades Building Products Inc.: "I also continue my real estate development business with a partner in California where I raised equity funding at my Rhoades Capital LLC to break ground on a 750,000 square-foot office building project in Southern California this year."

John Bruce writes for the first time. "I've been at Citigroup my entire career since undergraduate (Oklahoma '87), spending time in corporate banking for Citibank, then switching to derivatives and fixed income capital markets after Kellogg. I'm working in New York City as managing director and co-head of Citigroup's corporate fixed income capital markets origination business. I live with Sheryl, my wife of 19 years, and daughters Ashley (15) and Hannah (13) in Western Springs, Ill. (I commute to New York City for work). Those who remember my outside interests in music might look on various download sites for my album, The Sparrows "From There to Here," released in 2002. It went 'double-tin.'"

Amber Ellenz says that things are good. She has moved in Austin, Texas, but still in the same zip. Barbara and Steve Rappaport celebrated Steve's 14th year in Prague and 30 months of reconstruction and red tape when they moved into their new house in a beautiful Prague neighborhood. Business is still crazy-busy for the Praguester, but he and Bara still had time for a nice trip to Sicily.

John Bagan writes: "After 14 years in retail, I was looking for a chance to take that sabbatical I always wanted and to spend some serious time with my wife and daughters aged 9 and 6. The sale of Albertsons to Supervalu provided the perfect opportunity to make a clean break. We've decided to completely ignore our more practical instincts and take a 10-month trip around the world. I would love to re-connect with classmates and/or get any great ideas they might have for traveling with kids in places on our itinerary, including New Zealand and Australia, Southeast Asia (Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam), China, Japan, Europe and Morocco. Of course, since Dougal hasn't had a visitor in a decade and offered to pick up airfare to get one, I assume he'd be up for footing our airfares. We'll have a Web site to keep in touch with family and friends, naturally, but I must admit it's also a nice marketing tool we can use to entice potential corporate sponsors if any are interested. We actually already have all of our clothing taken care of — thank you, Columbia Sportswear!"

Katherine and Steve Tickle Me Elmo Elms enjoy life in Manhattan raising sons Hayden (7), Harrison (5) and Pierce (3). Weekends are filled with athletic activities (hockey, basketball, baseball, soccer). Steve writes: "We had a great day last summer when as part of our visit to Northern California, we had a pool party with the old Landmark crew (Tim Nelson, Matt Collier and Doug Marks) and their families at the Nelson home — 12 kids in all! At work, my partners and I recently spun out of the Soros Organization's Perseus Fund and raised $550 million for our second private-equity fund, called Aisling Capital. We focus on life-science companies that seek capital to complete human clinical development trials. I'm fortunate to work closely with Tim Nelson, who is the CEO of one of our portfolio companies (after finding great space for the company thanks to Doug Marks), a mogul of Silicon Valley commercial real estate! I try to get back to Kellogg every now and then to attend events (most recently, April's Biotechnology Conference) held by the Kellogg School's Center for Biotechnology, which runs a terrific program."

Doug Reynolds writes: "After four years at ServiceMaster, I'm ready for a change. SVM is increasingly moving all senior roles to Memphis, and I'm not moving there. I'm taking at least six months off to lead the effort to start a new school in Wheaton, Ill., the Clapham School. It's a classical school that emphasizes much higher academics, Latin, literature, etc. My kids will all attend and we have 25 others who are joining. It's great stuff and I love it. I don't want to be out of the technology market space too long, but it's great to be able to launch an effort that will have such an impact on the next generation. Clapham is a part of south London (I lived there 8 years ago) where the likes of Christian/societal reformers like William Wilberforce lived 300 years ago."

Ross Posner has joined Allstate Investment's alternatives team, after having served as a principal with Heritage Partners. He will focus on both fund commitments and co-investments. In May, Ron Squarer left his corner-office job at Pfizer to become senior vice president of the global corporate and business development division at Mayne Pharma in New Jersey.

Berthold Heinemann writes, I've now been in Southeast Asia for more than eight years — mostly in Vietnam. Our company, Mai Asia, is engaged in brand development. When time allows, I enjoy the sun and beaches. Recently, I met Matthew Ginsburg in Hong Kong. He's still at Morgan Stanley and doing very well."

Tom Scarpello left Ford in late 2005 after 17 years. He writes: "I had entertained the notion of becoming an automobile dealer for years, so I decided to work for a large dealer organization to learn the business. During this time I came up with an idea for a start-up automotive components and services company that allows me to pursue something I enjoy and gets us back to Mexico City so we can be near Yetli's family. I had an achievement of sorts in June when I won the Formula Mazda class at the SCCA National race at California Speedway, my first win in a national race."

Dmitry Paramonov is delighted to announce the birth of his "baby" after a two-year gestation, i.e. the FDA's approval of Bristol-Myers Squibb's Sprycell, a the first second-line drug for chronic myeloid leukemia. "We took this oral targeted agent from first in man to commercial launch in 32 months, a pharmaceutical industry record," writes Dmitry.

Alfredo Garcia was promoted to senior vice president of corporate development at Eagle Rock Energy in Houston. Eagle Rock will have its IPO this autumn.

Dr. Cédric Loiret-Bernal received the Kellogg Alumni Service Award. Cedric is CEO of NanoInk Inc., an emerging growth technology company in nanometer-scale manufacturing an applications development for the life-science and semiconductor industries. For more info, go to the Kellogg alumni Web site.

Perry Cantarutti was named vice president for reservations at Northwest Airlines.

Michael Hayford was promoted to COO of Metavante Corp., the financial technology subsidiary of Milwaukee-based Marshall & Ilsley Corp.

As for yours truly, I recently met John Guerster at the World Energy Engineering Conference in Washington. John is the recently hired, sharp-as-a-tack CEO of Boston-based Groom Energy Solutions, which is, essentially, a direct competitor of my company, GreenSpark Energy Solutions. He's as excited as about the space as I am — good thing the country is big enough for the two of us.
