1992

Before the latest news, I have to say that the Class of 1992 news flow has turned to a tiny trickle; so open up the floodgates and send me your news or our section will look just like all the other years!

Jeannine Everett is in San Francisco area and is BCG’s director of research. It’s a great gig; she’s able to work from her home and BCG consultants worldwide plug into her when they need research. She and husband John have a 4-year-old boy, Jonah. Jeannine also started writing children’s books in her free time and is looking for any KGSM connection that might help her get published. She claims to have converted from a Midwesterner to a full-fledged Californian, complete with Birkenstocks and yoga classes.

Isabelle and David Murphy proudly announce the birth Quentin Murphy, who was born in August. Gary and Kellie Dvorchak also had a baby girl in August, Clarissa Renae. So far her big sister Alexandra, 21 months, loves her!

Joanne Cho Sevrain is still at A.T. Kearney Chicago and would love to hear from KGSM classmates. Write to her at Joanne.Sevrain@atkearney.com.

Dean Mendel has been in Montreal since graduation. “I came home initially to help my dad resuscitate a hotel business that was in big trouble (remember the recession of ’92?). Thereafter, I did the pseudo-tech thing for a while and am back in real estate now, developing ‘strip’ centers primarily.” (Is he going to give Hooters a run for its money?) Andrea and I just had our third healthy and wonderful child, Max, who joins sisters Polly, 6, and Jillian, 4. Last spring I hosted a Kellogg alumni reunion at my house for about 10 KGSMers.

Paul Mistor writes: “I am still working for PwCon, a project in Frankfurt, Germany, through the autumn. After that, I have no idea where I will be. I still rent an apartment in North Carolina that I get back to about once a month. I just returned from vacation with Kashif Chaudrhy, and Elaine Leung. We went to Kenya and Tanzania: one week to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro and one on safari. I’ll also be running the Berlin marathon soon.”

Susie and Rob Honigberg celebrated their 10-year wedding anniversary by spending a romantic weekend in West Virginia. John Trapnell writes us for the first time: “Upon receiving notice of our 10-year reunion, I figured it was time to write: I married Ann Gooderl, and we have two wonderful children: Austin, 3, and Emily, 1. I work in Minneapolis as a director of trading for GMAC-RFC, a leading issuer of mortgage and asset-backed securities. I was recently awarded a seven-week paid sabbatical. We used the time to travel Alaska, experience some quality family time, golf, and pursue various volunteer opportunities.” John’s e-mail address is john.trapnell@gmacrfc.com.

As for me, in June my wife Eva and I attended the beautiful San Francisco wedding of Mark McKechnie and longtime sweetheart Michelle Shapiro. The reception was held at the Fairmont. Also attending were Scott “Moose” Schur and Jeff Worden, who showed off his fashionable lobster tan. The highlight of the evening, though, was The McKech throwing down to the rockin’ band. He even got the whole McKechnie clan (at least the brothers and their sons) to do running belly slides across the dance floor. Michelle, the slacker, abstained from the latter. I also just visited Steve Rappaport in Prague. The Rapper has been there nine years through thick and thin, and, after a lot of hard work, has his own mini-conglomerate. He’s got his fingers into import/export trading, consumer goods wholesaling, plumbing products, and retail – look out Mitsui and Sumitomo. I returned to the U.S. today, only to witness firsthand the horrors of the WTC terrorist attack. My condolences to any of you who have lost friends or loved ones on this day of infamy.
