I want to wish a very happy 40th birthday if you have celebrated that milestone since our last publication. • Jediah Byrom shares, “My wife and I are happily settled into our life in Brandon, Vt.. I continue to return to Cambodia regularly for business and pleasure, but have also enjoyed seeing some other parts of the world with my family this past year. We spent five weeks in Costa Rica and Nicaragua last winter. I have enjoyed the far-reaching effects of NMH here in Vermont, as I keep meeting interesting people who are graduates or have some connection to the place. I’m looking forward to welcoming Sophie McCallum’s boys to Camp Sangamon this summer, and will be happy to see her again. Amy Lyman and I are in regular contact, but are woefully bad at actually meeting up in person. Hoping to change that.” • Matt Lejeune writes from Chicago: “I recently worked with Dee Snyder (of Twisted Sister) on new material, and Charlie XCX, Mavis Staples, and Jennifer Hudson have all been in recently.
