1999 Bill Miller bmilleriv@gmail.com It was another busy and productive year for Gilman’s all-star Class of ’99. One of the most active Gilman community members, Charles Wagandt, who also led the hottest tri-school-area trio ever to spit rhymes, put together a verse for this year’s class notes. Charles sums up his past year by rapping, “It was no average year working on the Bull Roast; to all who helped, I have to give a toast. Done just hopped a plane to Sydney for work; now I need to travel with my wife so she don’t think me a jerk. Not only upgraded O’s seats for this season; but lots of friends be having babies, which is pleasin’. Word.” Two such baby-making friends are fellow Orko crew members Chris Anderson and Bill Miller. Chris and wife Yay moved back to Charm City last year and bought a house in Guilford. He also became an attorney, got a new job and expects a baby at the end of the summer. Bill and wife Becky still live in Fells Point and are expecting a girl in August. Their final pre-baby escapade involved two weeks exploring the bush in Botswana and Zimbabwe. For work, Bill has been helping to launch a new venture under the Legg Mason umbrella involving a high income-generating fund.
