David Gordon is currently working in Alabama as CEO of Wellborn Forest Products, where he just completed a turnaround of this manufacturer of kitchen cabinetry. He’s still laughing uproariously with his classmates Lisa LaVine ’95, Tom Rogers ’95, Travis Hurst ’95 and sometimes Kian Meftah ’95 at Coffee Talk. Although, since they now live in different parts of the country, they get together by phone. His oldest is now a junior in high school. Time goes by so fast!

Lisa Morrell’s daughter Krista, 12, gave her a good reason to catch up with some Kellogg friends in NYC last summer. Krista was accepted into the Juilliard/SAB summer ballet program at Lincoln Center. The program admits only 200 students ages 12–18 each year. During her visits, Lisa stayed with Dave Melian ’95 and Stacey Castor ’95, who were wonderful hosts, and enjoyed quality time with Carrie Leonard ’95 and Jane Bieneman ’95. A memorable summer adventure!
