San Francisco, interning at a financial technology start-up called Affirm. He’s hopeful to be able to link up with Alex Goldscher (currently in San Fran) a few times this summer. Chachu heads back to Boston at the end of August to finish his M.B.A. with fellow classmate and Gilman ’06 alum Anton Lande. Meanwhile, John Thompson is finishing his second year of orthopedic surgery residency at Johns Hopkins and is about to start a year of research after that. A big congratulations to Jamie Apgar, who got hitched on May 31!! He married Melanie Gudesblatt of Sayville, N.Y. (on the South Shore of Long Island), a Cornell grad. They met a few years ago in the Music History Ph.D. program at UC Berkeley. They live together in Berkeley and absolutely love the food and the sun! As for me, Tyler Hoffberger, I’ve been in NYC for the past couple years, working for NBC’s social marketing team. I’m currently living in Park Slope, Brooklyn, and spend most evenings huddled on MLB.tv checking in on how the O’s are doing. Thank you to those who sent class notes — I truly love getting your updates each year. I’m always so proud of you all, and it makes me so happy to connect with each and every one of you. Here’s to another amazing year!

And now, judging by my Facebook feed, some of us are married — with kids. I’m so glad so many of you were able to catch up at the 10-year, but for those of you — like me — who weren’t able to make it, consider this your mini-reunion recap. Thomas Rogers works for Bloomberg LP in New York City, managing the financial products sales team for Texas and Oklahoma. Marcus Singleton lives in Brooklyn, and recently accepted a position at the Blackstone Group as an associate within their fund accounting group. Matt Legg graduated from University of Maryland Law in May 2015, took the bar this July, and will be starting at a civil litigation firm in Baltimore in the fall. Chris Morrow’s a third-year medical student at University of Maryland in Baltimore, and his wife is expecting a baby girl this summer! Congrats to both of you!! Rusty Rich graduated from law school and passed the Maryland Bar exam. He’s now the corporate counsel at a company in Baltimore. Pearson Hill is also living in Baltimore (Canton to be exact) and is “making it happen!” Chachu Wu just finished his first year of business school at MIT Sloan and is spending the summer in
