Hello TMP Class of 2000! Time has flown by this year.  Be sure to take a minute to send me updates on gatherings with other alumni, job changes, marriages, births, etc. Consider sending in that amazing photo of you or other Kellogg alumni at that summer vacation that you took!

If you enjoy reading the updates and don't receive a reminder about submitting Class Notes, perhaps your alumni e-mail forwarding address needs to be set up. To do this, go to alumni.kellogg.northwestern.edu to set this up. While you are there, be sure to sign up for the TMP Class of 2000 listserv.
