Buffie Eilert Grewal was recently named to the board of the San Francisco Waltzing Society, which had its 50th anniversary white-tie ball on Nov. 11 this year. Buffie has been living in Menlo Park for the last eight years, and is now a single mom to son Avery, who turned four in November.

In August Terry Tanguay Steele and her family took a vacation to Alaska, visiting and traveling with her brother. The highlight of their trip was seeing wildlife in their natural habitats — bears, moose, sea otters and harbor seals. "To all adventurous Kellogg alumni, I highly recommend a visit to Alaska. It was fabulous!"

Eric had a lunch reunion with Cesare Zetti while on a driving trip to Umbria, Italy, and he recently took the trip of a lifetime into the Canadian arctic with his father to go fly fishing. They stayed at a small camp (five cabins) on the edge of the George River just below Helen's Falls, located approximately 20 miles south of Ungava Bay, which is Inuit territory. It took three flights to get there (from Toronto to Montreal, Montreal to Kujjuak, and Kujjuak to the river). It's above the tree line, except for a few of the major river valleys, where dwarf trees grow due to the short growing season. He says it was "breathtaking and harsh at the same time." There were two other father-son teams and another couple of veteran Canadian fly fishermen on the trip with them. Everything has to be flown in up to the camp, even the barrels of diesel. There are no roads anywhere, and the largest town in the entire region has just 1,200 people. "Arranging a case of beer for the week was $100 (yes, about $5 per can). The trip was educational for me and great fun."

Since graduation Francisco Salazar has been living in São Paulo, Brazil, with his wife Denise. He originally came back to work with McKinsey, where he spent a few years. Then, he was part of the turnaround of a large bicycle manufacturer as their COO ("pretty exciting stuff") and then was marketing and sales director for a large credit card company. Since 2000, Francisco went back to consulting with the Monitor Group and presently leads their Latin American practice. His family has grown and now he and Denise have two wonderful children, Carolina and Rafael, "who make our life so much more exciting and rewarding." This summer they went to Disney World and the family had a blast. Francisco regularly keeps in touch with Marcelo Leite, who also lives in São Paulo, and recently saw Jaime Requeijo in Madrid.

After 13 years at PepsiCo in New York, Scott Moffitt is moving from vice president/general manager of Pepsi's SoBe Beverage Co. to senior vice president/general manager of personal care at The Dial Corp. in Scottsdale, Ariz. Dial is owned by Henkel, a European parent. Scott's family, including his wife Tami, and children Katie (7), Sarah (5) and Grant (2), is currently relocating.

Todd Manifold is a general manager in Columbus, Ohio, for Mettler-Toledo. The company manufactures a complete line of weighing equipment — everything from heavy-duty scales for gravel pits to precision balances for pharmaceutical laboratories. Todd has been married to Dawn for 18 years and they have four daughters, Megan (12), Paige (10), Katherine (7) and Kristen (7). "As you can imagine, they have been the focus of our life since leaving Kellogg," says Todd.

It has been an exciting year for Marike (Weinig) Owen, as her baby, Michael Roscoe Owen, just turned 1. She is very happily working at BMC Software again and out of the startup world. Other than that, she is "having a great time figuring out how to be a parent and stopping Mikey from eating the dog food."

In August, Harald Fett married Benita Dorken in Wuppertal, Germany. Felix and Barbara Rubel, Gloria Addonizio, Julie Sell and Yves Arrouet were there to celebrate.

Jim Maffezzoli is still living in New York City with his wife Joyce and three kids, Daniel (11), Gabrielle (8) and Michael (5). They love living in the city except, like most city-dwellers, they wish they had a bigger apartment and more affordable schools. Jim joined Pfizer in NYC a little more than three years ago and is now leads the consumer strategy team to plan, develop, and implement consumer marketing efforts for relevant Rx products. Jim sees Sarah Jaffe and Deb Fienberg '80 regularly, as they work at Pfizer as well.

In February, Jim went skiing with Paul Eskenazi, Jeff Walsh and Andy Jolls. "It was our first Kellogg guys' trip. I know, it's pathetic that it took this many years, a series of 40^th birthdays and an engagement to get us to actually pull it off. We had been talking about it for a long time." They spent several days "tearing it up" in Vail and Beaver Creek on and off the slopes. "Let's just say what happens in Vail stays in Vail."

More recently Jim connected with a similar group at Andy Jolls' wedding in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, in April. Yes, Andy Jolls finally took the plunge. Jim says the wedding was an incredibly beautiful and fun-filled long weekend. The ceremony and reception took place at a villa on a private beach. In addition to Jim Maffezzoli, Kelloggians Paul Eskenazi (always up for a good party), Jeff Walsh, Jeff Lime and Dale Zeh attended. "An incredible time and many margaritas were had by all."

After graduation, Janet Finnie spent two years in Chicago completing a post-graduate fellowship in healthcare administration and then working at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. Then she got engaged and she and her (now) husband decided to move back east closer to their families. Janet took a position at Pennsylvania Hospital in Philadelphia in 1995 (now part of the University of Pennsylvania Health System) working on managed care contracting, physician practice management, business development, government relations, marketing and operations — a little of everything over the five years she worked there. During that time, they lived in Haddonfield, N.J., and Janet gave birth to two baby girls just down the hall from her office! Phoebe and Ellen are now 8 and 6 respectively. In 2000, she was recruited by Princeton University to direct the operations of their student health service. She oversees all administrative aspects of the service, from IT to HR to finance. Her professional goals are to become re-licensed as a social worker (her former life, pre-Kellogg) and get more involved in facilitating management development training courses across the university. "Life is good," writes Janet. She and her family live in Princeton, where she grew up and went to undergrad, less than a mile away from her parents. The schools are good, she can walk to work, her girls are healthy and happy, her husband can work from home (selling fine art) and they had a bumper tomato crop this summer. "What more could I ask for?" Janet keeps in touch with Judy Holme Agnew, who is also a mother of two girls and is the executive director of the Bay Area Video Coalition, a nonprofit media arts access and training center.

Tom Bartley had a terrific summer. He's been executing some outstanding brand-building for Hebrew National as vice president of marketing at ConAgra. The brand now sponsors 14 Major League Baseball team stadiums, including the Cubs, the Yankees and the Tigers. Tom had the opportunity to create a huge PR program that turned baseball stadium hot dog hawkers into brand ambassadors and even select and award the finalist on field. After turning the brand around and achieving record shares, Tom will be leaving ConAgra on a high note to pursue a great opportunity as vice president of brand development marketing at a leading national retailer that poses another fantastic turnaround opportunity. Stay tuned.

Tom also tells me Kermit King had twin girls last winter. Now he has three little girls, whose names all begin with "A."

Though Don divorced his first wife, he is happily married to a "pretty neat lady," Brenda. Don has four children. His oldest son is an emergency physician. His daughter "came to her senses" after majoring in political science and women's studies at the University of Wisconsin and earned her master's in education at New York University. She is an elementary school teacher in Brooklyn. The next is a son is an obstetrician/gynecologist and is married to an internal medicine resident who will be completing her studies this coming June. Last is a son currently working on his master's of divinity at Asbury Theological Seminary and is in the chaplaincy candidate program in the U.S. Army Reserves.

An avid reader, Don has "run out of places to put book shelves," and he paints for recreation. He enjoys writing and has "finished the obligatory book which I have tossed in a basket somewhere in the house. It needs radical revision, and I am not up to it just yet. Unfortunately, it has been 10 years."

Don collects local Native American art and artifacts. He has about three square feet of empty space in his home office in case any of you reading this come across something interesting. He is interested in Native American history, particularly about the local tribes which include Kiowa, Comanche, Choctaw and Cherokee. "After all, Geronimo is buried near here unless one of the Bushes and his friends really did rob the grave and have the bones ensconced somewhere at Yale. Tell me it is not so, Scott. Did I just visit a pile of rocks a couple of months ago?"

Don plans to practice medicine as long as he can. He says he enjoys reading about the successes of his classmates and expects someone to hit it big.

A couple years ago Brent McKim left his job as vice president of product marketing and business development at Open Harbor Inc., to stay home with his two kids, Kyle (7) and Cole (5) while Janice Austin McKim '94 worked as CFO at EORM Inc. Then last year he went through the police academy in San Jose and graduated in December with the honor of "Top Cop." Since January, he has been on patrol as an officer for the City of San Jose. Janice recently left her job to stay home with the kids. Janice and Brent are having a great time in their new careers.
