Rich Chapple, and looking forward to celebrating with some friends from Friends. She remembered listening to the jazz band in the Meetinghouse and "always being wowed by their talent.” Daisy Ho is pregnant with her second child, who her son happily refers to as Little Shrimp so that he doesn't have to be called Little Shrimp anymore. If you've been following along with these alumni updates, you know about THATLou, Daisy's Paris-based museum treasure hunt company. THATLou is now expanding to London under the name THATMuse (Treasure Hunt at the Museum). She hosted a hunt at the British Museum called "The Art of Play: A Treasure Hunt Challenge" in September. As for music memories, she has this to say: "I would say I'm sorry if I thought that it would change your mind. But I know that this time I have said too much, been too unkind." You know the rest. Vanessa Primack still remembers singing “The Rainbow Connection” at fourth-grade graduation. "A big thank you to Linda Monson for making us sing that song," she says. "It felt really special at the time and still does when I think about it." Still in NYC, Jessica Rovello and her husband, Kenny, have three sons—Marco (8), Dean (6), and Reed (3)—who are enjoying the British International School. This past summer involved lots of time renovating their house upstate. Twisty Hollow, a game from their company, Arkadium, was featured by Apple a few months ago. At the time this update was

written, Arthur Dobelis was wondering what to do with his backyard bumper crop of tomatoes and zucchinis, grown in the garden of his home in Brooklyn Heights. We will find out what happened with them in the next alumni update. Arthur is working in web development for a media company "like it's 1999 again. But better!" Jonathan Jacoby was preparing for a major move all the way to the sixth floor of the building he, his wife, and their twin sons (Max and Sam) already lived in. This past summer he served as a judge at Nathan's 4th of July Hot Dog Eating Contest and took Max and Sam to their first baseball game. If you're in downtown Brooklyn, you may want to check out Lloyd Sherman's new restaurant Myrtle & Gold, at the corner of, well, Myrtle Avenue and Gold Street. It's a great place. As for your updater, I am still writing for magazines about science, health and medicine. My children are six and nine years old now, and we are enjoying getting settled in our new place in Brooklyn. And I have many heartwarming memories of music in the Meetinghouse. Sending best wishes to all.
