Holt Hobgood and Jayme welcomed Colton Edwards Hobgood into this world! He reports that fatherhood is amazing! He was born 9/17/17. He is still working as Director of Design at a signage business in Raleigh. They recently moved into a new home and get to see Joe Stallworth ’03 regularly as they live about 2 miles apart. Holt let me know that they still have Lucy, their black lab, who is almost 15 — which feels like a reminder of how far we’ve all come since college. My (Taylor’s) dog, Dixie, will be 16 in May and met Holt’s Lucy while they were both young pups. Jordan Hadwin Wyndam still has her cat, Elvis who is nearly 18 (along with the new pet additions to her family: Sila, Bella (Taco), Roo and Max, all of whom Elvis does a great job of ignoring.) Libby Seaton Ayoob is still teaching at Marist. She and Nic have a son, James, born February 10th, 2017. She reports that she and Margaret Harris Glindmeyer made it to a Garth Brooks concert in Nashville over Christmas. Sarah Eissler Rhodes is busy with new precious baby number two and she and Jonathan Lee keep in touch and keep cheering on the Duke Blue Devils. Jonathan Lee reports he’s enjoying working in the Admissions Office at Episcopal and still amazed that he’s made it full circle back to the High School. If anyone makes a trip back to campus, make sure to reach out to him! He and Lauren also had a son, Grayson, in December 2016.
