The Greco Gazette Online -- Weddings and Babies 2002


	It was a Notre Dame/Chicago reunion at the wedding of pal AJ Steger to Jody Bachman (left) in June 2002. Their fun-filled wedding weekend on the Leelanau Peninsula in Michigan had everything from wine tasting to sailing on Grand Traverse Bay to a bonfire and s'mores on the beach! Congratulations Jody and AJ!

	Unfortunately, we didn't make it back to the States for the wedding of Jim's pal from IU grad school, Rich Dooley, to Lisa Larimer in Maryland in September 2002, but we heard the wedding was a lot of fun. We just missed meeting up with Lisa and Rich on their honeymoon in Italy (when we were in southern Germany), but we have tentative plans to go hiking with them next summer in Scotland. Congratulations Lisa and Rich!
We had another Notre Dame reunion when we attended the wedding of one of our groomsmen, Kelly Olinger, to Chris Geltz (right) in November 2002 in Orlando. The wedding was lovely, and it was great seeing old friends like Mike and Renee Slattery and Ted Sheehan. Congratulations Chris and Kelly!

Congratulations to former Germany (now in Toulouse, France) friends Carmy Fernandes and Berno Kock am Brink on the birth of their second children, twins Gabriel and Nicolas (below) in Aug. 2002.
