1992 David Knowles knowlesdavid@gmail.com I heard from four classmates this time around, and their news reflects the wonderful diversity of interests and personalities that makes the Class of 1992 such a great group. John Baltazar has lived in New York City for the past 17 years and works across the river in Jersey as a radiologist. He comes home several times a year to visit his parents, who still live in the same house in Timonium (the site of a memorable party or two back in the day). He’s a big Ravens fan and attends at least one game per season. Jean Chen lives in Alameda, Calif. She quit her job as a tattoo artist two years ago to start Bubble Farm Soap Co. Jean and her husband have 12 beehives and make bath products using local beeswax. She opened up a retail store recently, so if anyone is ever in the Bay Area she’d love to have a visitor. You can buy honey, soap and all kinds of bee-related goods. Ann Goldman Giroux is a proud Guilford resident who is in a continuous process of renovating her home. She and her husband David in 2005 purchased the house that used to belong to “the Bird Man of Guilford,” near Sherwood Gardens. She has been working on an illustrated catalog of original parks and structures in The Roland Park Company District for several years. She also recently completed, Guilford, a written and

pictorial history of the neighborhood. The book, published by Arcadia Publishing, features photographs of many of the original Guilford mansions — some of the photos taken 80 to 100 years ago, just as the mansions were completed. Ann and David have been married for 16 years and have two girls at Bryn Mawr School. Their eldest entered middle school in the fall. She sometimes runs into Elizabeth Gohn Dye ’93, who also has a daughter at Bryn Mawr, as well as Rebecca Rossello, who has two children at Friends, and Mark Counselman. Masha Lowenstein (formerly Sarah Morganstein) and I met up in August at Le Garage in Baltimore’s Hampden community. She and her husband Rob, an emergency room physician, and their three daughters, ages 5, 7, and 10, live in Boston. She recently was appointed director of innovation at an exciting startup company called Groupmuse, an online social network that connects young classical musicians to local audiences through concert house parties. Our 25-year Reunion is about a year and a half away. I’m hoping that we can get a big turnout, so please keep May 2017 in mind as it approaches.

Taylor Smith taylor.c.smith@gmail.com Several members of the Class of 1995 got together in May for a special class gathering. Though official Alumni Weekend events were postponed until October, Jane Latshaw Lancaster was gracious enough to still open her home and hosted a wonderful gathering for classmates. The class showing in October was smaller; Jane, Mike Fine and Whitney Manger Fine (with little Riley in tow), Katherine Peck and Brian Wohlmuth all made it to Friends School. However, it was a meaningful weekend for the class, especially those who were able to attend Sunday’s Hiram Holton II Scholarship Brunch. Hiram’s cousin Tiera York Jones spoke, as did Mike Fine. This was a very special time to remember Hiram and to connect with others who loved him and miss him.
Dan Muñoz and Andy Dale’s father Jim Dale recently published a nonfiction book with Penguin Random House called “Alpha Docs: The Making of a Cardiologist.” In it, Dan recounts his time spent in the competitive Cardiovascular Disease Training Fellowship at Johns Hopkins University and his journey into the high-stakes field of cardiology. Congratulations, Dan and Jim! (Editor’s note: See page 21 for an excerpt of the book.) “ALPHA DOCS” by Dan Muñoz ’96 and
