Hi, classmates! Thank you, thank you, thank you for all of the great news this time! Keep it coming! I actually have a few of my own updates this time, so here goes. Most importantly, Nate Harrison and I welcomed a baby girl to our family on Aug. 15. Sloan Cady Harrison weighed 8 pounds 6 ounces; big sister Darby (2) has thoroughly enjoyed taking on the role of helper and demonstrator of what big kids can do (i.e. "Look at me, baby Sloan, I can jump off the couch").

	John, Lucas and Maura Brescia '01
	Julio Casillas, William Chang, both '01, and their families decided to meet up in Des Moines, Iowa.
	Luca Cravero Candioli '01, with son Guglielmo and wife Michela on a Sunday morning.
	Jennifer (Crowley) Gargulinski '01 and her husband, Mat, on their honeymoon
	Danika (Rodriguez) and Nate Harrison, both '01, took daughters Darby (2) and Sloan (born Aug. 15) to a nearby farm for apple picking.
	Star Hampton and Robb Hoenick '01 with daughter Haven, born October 2006

	Fiona and Andrew Watt '01 enjoy a sunny day in Johannesburg with children Nicola and Peter.

Laurie, Maya and Hagai Barlev are excited to welcome the newest addition to their family. Liam Itai Barlev was born on Aug. 26. He was 6 pounds, 15 ounces. Everyone is doing well!

Luca Cravero Candioli welcomed Guglielmo on May 8, five weeks before his due date. The baby had to spend a couple of weeks in the intensive care unit but has now fully recovered. Luca writes, "He is the last addition to our family: the two of us, our two dogs Beni (dachshund) and Uma (Newfoundland) and now Guglielmo. No expansion plans for the time being. Guglielmo already holds a bachelor's in sailing and is training for his master's degree in skiing. After that we'll see." Luca is still running the veterinary division of his family business (candioli.it) and just launched a new e-business venture with a friend (superpetshop.it), while his wife, Michela, recently returned to her job, working with a colleague at their own law practice.

Star Hampton and Robb Hoenick welcomed Haven in October 2006. Haven has met numerous Kellogg alumni and their children already in the Northeast and while traveling around the world. Robb writes, "We love our recent move to Providence, R.I., where I'm still with MetLife and now responsible for all consumer-facing Web sites in the auto and home division."

Gretchen (Eschbacher) Koch and husband Brian welcomed "kiddo No. 2" on May 22. Henry William Koch was welcomed by his very proud and excited big sister, Melanie (2). Gretchen writes, "Life with two kids is a bit tougher but we are adjusting. I'm on maternity leave from Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream until the fall, so we have been enjoying our summer "vacation" of sleepless nights, temper tantrums and potty training."

Amy and Teaque Lenahan were excited to welcome their daughter, Tierney Wynne, on Aug. 15. Mom, dad, and baby are all doing well, and furry big sister Sally Belmont is loving this strange pink raisin who has joined their pack. They're having fun as new parents and have been warmly embraced by many Kellogg friends into the parenthood club. Teaque was recently made a director at Gravity Tank, the innovation consultancy, and now heads up the company's marketing and business development efforts.

Amanda and Brad Turner are thrilled to announce the birth of their son, Cole, on Aug. 3.

Tricia Hough married Chris Edwards in the landmark Carlu in Toronto on June 23. For all those who were at BCG in Chicago the summer of 2000, yes, it's that Chris Edwards.

In July, Ivy Tseng married Davin Hatfield-Westgate in a relaxed and sunny outdoor ceremony on a 400-acre horse farm in the Catskills, outside NYC. She recalls, "Thankfully, the weather cooperated, and among the guests were many Kellogg friends (and kids): Keith Bernhardt (alas, without lovely wife Liz or two little Bernhardts), Valerie Threlfall, Amy Peller, Irene Jeng, Ruth Berkowitz (plus husband Doron and little daughter Noa) and even Alexis and Gustavo Pesquin, all the way from Peru with their two little ones. Alas, with all the craziness we forgot to take a Kellogg photo, but needless to say everyone was looking fabulous and it was terrific to have a mini-reunion.

We will be staying in NYC, living on the Upper West Side, a reasonable commute to Jamaica Hospital, where Davin works as an attending physician in the internal medicine department, and my job at IBM (on my fifth job in six years in various flavors of marketing and communications). Any long-lost Kellogg friends living in or passing through New York — look us up!"

After leading the successful implementation of a federally funded Homeland Security surveillance camera initiative for the City of Chicago, Steve Altschul has recently returned to the private sector as director of strategy for Kaplan Higher Education.

Matt Bushell went on a camping/hiking KOA-style trip to Alaska this July. In the "it's a small world" category, it turns out the previous fall some Class of '07 members had hired the same guide/travel company (Alaska Outdoors Travel) for, you guessed it, a KOA trip! Matt's enjoying software marketing at Big Blue in N.Y.C. (still), but yearns for the "let's write a business plan" entrepreneurial setting we all used to have back at, sniff, school.

Julio Casillas and his family were making a trip back home from Minneapolis to Denver and had a mini-reunion with William Chang and his family, who reside in Bettendorf, Iowa. The Changs decided to travel two and a half hours to meet the Casillas family in Des Moines — if that is not friendship, I can't find other words!

Elaine Co has recently moved within Morgan Stanley into the corporate-structured finance/whole business securitization team, which is involved in all aspects of structured and securitized debt solutions as an alternative to bank/bond financing for corporate issuers and/or LBO situations.

Jennifer (Crowley) Gargulinski and her husband, Mat, recently moved from Michigan to San Diego. She is working as manager, business development for Continental AG and Mat is completing his fellowship in orthopedic surgery.

Michael Hermawan wrote about an exciting opportunity to accompany Professor Kotler on part of his Southeast Asia tour in August. Professor Kotler began by visiting Jakarta, Indonesia, to speak at various events, followed by stops in Singapore, Malaysia and Vietnam. Michael's company, MarkPlus Inc., organized the events in Indonesia and Singapore. Kellogg alumni attendees at one event in Indonesia included Winston Batanghari, Michael Hermawan, Teddy Batanghari '95, and John F. Kurtz '94. The event, titled Rethinking ASEAN, was on Aug. 7, and Professor Kotler gave a Distinguished Country Marketing Award to Indonesia's president, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.

After nearly eight years in Minneapolis, Chris Hsu and his family just moved to Palo Alto, Calif., where Chris joined Chris Hsu Capstone/KKR in May. He is working on Dollar General in Nashville, Tenn. (Really, it took eight years to realize that the weather in Palo Alto is better than Minnesota?)

Andrew Watt just joined Anthony Miller '02 in a small startup called Lightstone Risk Management in Johannesburg, where they are "riding the wave of a property boom to provide banks and property investors automated property valuations and other property-related services." Andrew and his wife, Fiona, have two kids, Nicola (2) and Peter (1), and he writes that they are both great sleepers and eaters! Also, Andrew has just completed his second Comrades Marathon (89 km) in KwaZulu Natal and a half marathon amongst the Big 5 in the Kruger National Park. Andrew says, "Anyone down in this part of the world should definitely get in touch!"

Robin Winer was promoted to senior marketing manager at PepsiCo QTG and is responsible for its lite snacks business.
