Edward Roberts reports, “My wife, Michelle, and I are still beaming with joy following the birth of our first child. Our son, future Milton alum Finley Harrison Roberts, was born on May 20. Alas, we weren’t quite ready for travel in early June, and were not able to join in the 15th Reunion festivities. The entire Roberts family sends its best wishes to the Class of 1993, and hopes everyone had a whikid good time!” Bob Seltzer writes in, “My wife of five years (college sweetheart, Stacey) gave birth to our daughter Adela Rose Seltzer on November 9, 2007. Everyone is happy and healthy. Life as a father has been a fun whirlwind. When I’m not changing diapers, I’m a principal at Care Capital, a life sciences venture capital firm in Princeton. Since I live in Hoboken, New Jersey, and work in Princeton, I’m being especially vigilant in teaching Adela to root for the Boston sports teams. So far, Adela’s career as a fan is going well.”

Michael O’Brien reports, “My daughter, Molly Anne O’Brien, was born on January 27, 2008, at 11:30 p.m. Molly was eight pounds, 12 ounces, and 20.5 inches. Both Molly and her mother, Beth O’Brien, are doing well.” Margaret Ridge writes, “I have resigned from my position at Maybelline to take a job at VOICE Charter School in Queens, New York. I am thrilled, as singing is my first love, and it was at Milton where my passion for music was first fostered and inspired. At VOICE, all children will learn to sing, play an instrument of their choice, write, and read music. We will open with kindergarten and first grade and add a new class each year up through middle school. Best regards to all my former Milton teachers and classmates, and may you all find a way to do what you love every day!”
