Brunson Mims are living in Richmond and had their second child, Roland Bacot Mims, on Nov. 4, 2009. Also, I set up a Facebook group for our class in February, so please go there and request to be added. It is called EHS Class of 1994. It has been fun reconnecting with some people through Facebook!

Pence Craddock Scurry writes, “J.P. and I had a little girl, Mary Henley Spencer Scurry, on Oct.10, 2009.” Natasha Ossinova writes, “I have a little son, Vasily, who will turn 1 year old in February. I love being a mom, for the time being, and on some weekends help bring more babies into this world by working as an obstetrics nurse. In June we’ll be moving to Pittsburgh (from New York) for my husband’s fellowship in surgical oncology.” Katherine Webb Easterling writes, “My news this year is the birth of our third daughter, Mary Pinckney, on Oct. 4, 2009. She has survived exuberant hugs and kisses from big sisters Seabrook (4) and Simmons (2). I took a break this fall from volunteer work and have thoroughly enjoyed the extra time to spend with the children. They grow so quickly. When life feels crazy, it’s great to find refuge in our local church. My free time is spent sleeping, sewing, reading, and working out. I am determined to wear my skinny jeans again with the help of a little Zumba.”

From Randy: Shanty-Towners, I do not have a great deal of news to report this issue, but have a feeling that the next alumni notes will mostly consist of baby pictures. That said, Maroon Machine, let’s get started with a few birth announcements. Sarah and Brian Knutson are expecting again and due in early July. I had the pleasure of visiting them in Alexandria this fall. It was great to finally meet Jack Knutson. He seemed to be more smitten with my golden retriever than
he was to meet his Uncle Randy, so I’ve decided that Jack will be getting a puppy from me for his next birthday. All kidding aside, we had a fabulous visit, aside from Brian’s obsessing about potentially overcooking the hamburgers the first night. Speaking of burgers, former Head Cheerleader Luke Zehner recently won a competitive hot dog eating contest at a Bay-area PETA rally. He will also be finishing up at the Miami Advertising School this spring. Hey Z, “beer me” some training pointers. Bri and I are running in a halfmarathon this summer. I heard you had a list of “what not to do” when running with Brian. Sarah already told me that he is obsessed with P09X workout videos. What have I gotten myself into? Also in from the “Left Coast,” Andy Smith and his wife, Amelia, had a baby girl last fall. Magnolia Grey Smith was born on Oct.12,
2009, weighing in at 7 pounds and 4 ounces. Congratulations, Smith family! Can’t wait to hit the bunny slopes with her at Tahoe next year. Brentt Brown writes that his band, Pirate Radio, will be releasing their third album, entitled “Fires in the Woods,” this February. I can’t help but wonder if the album title was inspired by the anti-Woodberry chant “Go back into the woods.” When not “laughing out loud,” Temple Forsyth Basham is running her own recycled-babyclothing business in Richmond called “Fancy Pants.” Temps also reports that she and Andrew are also expecting baby No. 2 this summer in early August. Congrats, Bashams! Jamie Johnson Boyd writes that she and Bear just had their third baby boy, Heath, last May. James is now 6, and Carter is 3½ . Great news, Jamie! Still no word from C. Graham, Old Boys and Girls, but I did hear from Burch Baggett. Burch is living in his hometown of Daytona Beach, Fla., where he runs Baggett Financial Group, specializing in employee benefits for businesses, as well as individual health, life, and disability insurance. Burch spends most of his free time hunting, fishing, golfing, and living the bachelor’s dream in sunny Florida. Well, graduates of ’96, that about does it. As for me, I’m teaching kindergarten in the
