After making seven moves and living on three continents, Katherine Sung and her husband finally settled in Hong Kong. She has been working for Citibank Hong Kong in marketing since last year September. Moreover, the couple enjoyed a new addition to their family. Cyrus, born in February, has brought them new beginning and hope, they say.

Nivedita Roy Ghatak and her husband Mitul just returned from a month-long vacation to India. It was their first visit home since their wedding on May 9, 2003. The visit spanned the cities of Lucknow, Calcutta and Delhi, and included some very special events --- one wedding (her brother's) and four receptions (including the couple's own, as well as Nivedita's brother's). Mitul and Niv are now back in sweet Iowa City, Iowa, and enjoying the much cooler weather!

Rick Pollock and his wife Kelly welcomed a baby boy on April 20. Evan Richard weighed in at 8 pounds, 6 ounces and measured 20.5 inches. The new parents are enjoying their new addition.
