Year two of career ‘shift’ is going well. Higher Ed/Trinity College is definitely different from financial services, but at the end of the day, I’m using my core IT skill set and get to witness the fruits of our labor walking on campus.

Life is better once you get two monitors.

Rob DeMuth works at Merrill Lynch and walks a lot.

The Carroll family is thankfully non-remarkable while navigating the new reality.

Fortunately I wrapped up an exciting year of exhibiting with art fairs back in November, great shows in D.C., Miami art week, Los Angeles, and NYC Soho, as well as delivering and installing several corporate collections and commissions...

Hey all! I’ve actually been in Baltimore since March 12. Sadly my mother passed away and I travelled back home to handle her funeral arrangements right before the whole pandemic thing hit.

John-William DeClaris lost his father in March. Despite that, he said he “continues to work at the Food and Drug Administration, which, by the way, is a great organization and always looks for good people..."

I’m happy to report that I got married last September. My wife, Marisa Kurtzman, is an architect with a firm in Los Angeles. We got married up in Northern California, and we’re weathering the shutdown at our home in Santa Monica. Hope to get back to Baltimore once things open up.

Michelle and I are having a great time with Lily, who is now 18 months old and so much fun! Caroline will be a senior at Episcopal High School in Alexandria next year. Georgia will be a ninth grader at McDonogh, and I’m struggling a bit with that. Henry lives in Federal Hill and works for PWC, and I’m still at Legg Mason.

Morgan Salmon is living in north Philadelphia (but not born and raised), he works at Amazon going on year two where he spends most of his days, he enjoys chillin’ out, maxin’ relaxin all cool on the beaches of Jamaica when the three young kids (10, 5, 3) aren’t in school.

Dr. Karan Kamboh is just as sexy as ever, and he recently starred in a YouTube music video called “Brusher Now,” which is worth two minutes and forty-six seconds of your time.

Shaun Woodland is racking up awards for his work on the big screen. He starred in the film “Unarmed Man,” available on Amazon Prime, which won the HBO “Best Feature” competition at the Martha’s Vineyard African American Film Festival in 2019.

Craig Bennett is expecting his second baby in September. He is the dean of the middle school at Calvert and lives in Rodgers Forge, where he is neighbors with Andrew Faraone.

My best regards to everyone. I’ve been locked down with my wonderful wife, Sandy, (and a giant orange tabby cat) in Federal Hill during the recent viral crisis.

All good from here in Reisterstown, Md., with the Rienhoffs — lots of projects, open space, and critters out here. Married to Pat for just about 33 years (don’t ask me how she could put up with it).

All is well in Richmond, Va., three adult kids, two who happen to be sheltering with us at this moment. The third lives a mile away. I

I’m trying to meet a ‘Cooper Deadline’ which (after 12 years at The Tech with Hap) I know is an oxymoron. Betsy and I are celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary. Since we’re not going anywhere, I may have to surprise her with something beyond the meal kits in 15 minutes that represent my culinary skills.

Gentlemen, I guess I started my retirement three months early due to the pandemic. If I survive online teaching I will be retiring from The Tech after 38 years, with wrestling (28 years) and baseball coaching (9 years), I can honestly say that I enjoyed every aspect of my 38!

I’m living and working in the northwest corner of Connecticut, not far from David O. My wife, Hope, and I bought property in Sharon, Conn., and are building a high performance factory-built home up at the top of the property on a rocky ledge.

Hello everyone — It’s really amazing what my classmates have done! At the moment I am enduring the COVID pandemic just like everyone else.

Everyone here is healthy and working under COVID-safe rules. Katie goes to the office but she is the only one there. Carter (25) and his roommates work from their apartment in Fed Hill.

Hello from the War Zone in the New York Metro Area. Does anyone else live in the area? We live in Manhattan , but escaped with the full family at the end of March to Salisbury, Conn., in the Berkshires, two hours north of NYC.

As many of you know, Mary Anne and I still live in Grosse Pointe Park, a couple of blocks from Detroit. We’re going on 21 years here. We have three children, who make me a blessed and proud old man.

I guess it has been a few years since I’ve been in contact. It’s great to see everyone here doing well. I hope we all survive this current crisis.

Howdy, folks, and greetings from Wisconsin! Sue and I are now in our 26th year in Milwaukee where we have become Packers, Bucks, Brewers, Marquette, and U Wisconsin Badger fans, there IS a lot of cheese and beer, and we did have some snow flurries on Mother’s Day.

From Baltimore, I can report that I have rejoined the Gilman Board of Trustees after a two-year absence, and if my math is correct, by serving for another eighteen years I will have tied our classmate Michael Weinfeld’s tenure on the board.

Greetings from Chapel Hill. Sue and I are still in the same house where we raised our daughters. It’s tucked into a forest above a marsh — getaway spaces that have been a boon in the time of COVID.

Debbie and I returned from a ski trip to Whistler, BC on Friday the 13th, just in time to shelter in place.

Great to hear from everyone; the Jerveys are well,shivering in fear in the basement of our house in Bethesda

We too are “hunkering in the bunker” in Richmond, but do escape to the lower Chesapeake as much as we can. Both kids are in Colorado living the dream as fly fishing and mountain biking are accepted forms of social distancing.

Life is still wonderful here on the Chesapeake, although these incessant Zoom calls impinge on my ability to go outside and enjoy the beauty of living on the Bay.

It’s good to hear that so many of us are safe during these uncertain times. I’m happy to report that all is well with the Wyche family.

I am happy to report the family is safe. I work at a software company in Virginia while living in Randallstown, not far from McDonogh (pass it all the time). I have been telecommuting for years so the stay-at-home order has little to no effect on me.

I moved back from California in November to Baltimore to work for a firm that is now moving its headquarters to Phoenix in only six months...another corporation leaves...so sad.

I’m pleased to report the Johns family is healthy. Susan and I had the fine planning skills to buy a larger house in the same community we have been living in Bonita Springs, Fla. just before COVID hit.

I recently ended a 16-plus-year career at M&T Bank/Wilmington Trust. Not ready to hang it up; so, looking for the next chapter opportunity.

Life continues to be good in Burlington, Vermont. Nest is empty. Kids all healthy though entirely hobbled by COVID — their many fire-irons cooled way off.

I’m still teaching physics at Eastern Michigan University, so of course that means I was scrambling a couple of months ago to convert all five of my courses to entirely online experiences.

After nearly three decades of expansion, Jennifer and I decided to downsize. So last summer we moved onto the campus of McDonogh School — which is surreal.

Another journey comes to an end as I completed my MBA from the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School.

Ross Pearce has had a challenging spring as senior steward of the Maryland Racing Commission and co-chairman of the Manor Steeplechase Race.

Clinton Daly has been spending the stay-at-home time painting, polishing, planting, and having lots of board-related Zoom calls strategizing for the post-COVID recovery.

If any of us ever do get back into an airplane post-pandemic, we no longer have the opportunity to be flown by a classmate, as Captain Kimball Byron retired from American Airlines in February.

David Seiler continues as senior consultant for a specialty manufacturing company, and as an essential critical infrastructure business in the medical supply chain, the facility remains open and fully staffed.

My family is staying safe during quarantine. I have two frontline workers. My wife, Emma, works in the pediatric emergency room while my oldest, Lexi, works in the emergency room. They are my heroes.

Greetings from eight weeks in quarantine. This has been a rather fascinating year in every respect.

Pierre Bouscaren, remains similarly “retired” here in Gainesville, Va. Sarah has me digging, seeding, hauling, lawn-mowing and otherwise helping maintain her truly glorious garden.

Rick Betts and Laura tell me they are dutifully keeping proper distances in sunny Oakland, Calif.

Bill Eaton, still living in D.C., has “taken the plunge” and moved to a retirement community, Ingleside at Rock Creek, in Northwest.

From Silver Spring, Md., George Urban writes that he and Alicia are coping with the virus as well as a spate of difficult family illnesses and losses by reading real books and planning for better things ahead.

Cary Woodward, our contribution to the Gilman faculty where he distinguished himself for several years, regrets having to forego his customary vacation to Maine with Peggy.

Harry Thomas reported from Tarrytown, N.Y., that he and Karen unsheltered for a while on Mother’s Day and hiked (yikes!) along the Pocantico River with their daughter and granddaughter.

Bill Trimble responded from his home of 58 continuous years on the hill in Owings Mills, Md.

Andy Gantt weighed in early from Wingina, Va., the telephone pole capital of the state, where he and wife Digna own a huge timber operation.

My personal big news is that I retired for a second time; this time it will stick. I live in Charlotte, and our three children are currently sheltering in place with us.

On the religious front, I’ve been particularly engaged these past two decades with The Institute for Islamic, Christian & Jewish Studies (ICJS.org), an organization with quite a few Gilman connections having been founded by Gilman buddies Charlie Obrecht and George Hess, along with others they attracted, with former Gilman pastor Chris Leighton as its first executive director.

I’m still living outside D.C. in Northern Virginia and working at a commercial finance company called Midcap Financial. I’ve been staying home since mid-March where my wife, kids, and I are all trying to keep up with work/school remotely.

Presiding from home, Baltimore City Circuit Judge Sylvester Cox wrote, “COVID 19 has severely hindered the administration of justice, yet we do what we can to preserve the judiciary.”

Dudley Parr wrote that, a dozen years ago, “at the end of the school year, I left Shady Side Academy where I taught science and was a dorm parent, to go to Trinity School for Ministry outside of Pittsburgh."

Arthur “Tiger” Cromwell wrote that his athletic activities at Gilman focused on running, “on dirt, gravel, sidewalks — it didn’t matter — just keep going as long as you could, as fast as you could,” and that the pandemic’s relevance to the more than seven years he spent doing mission work in Venezuela includes confronting fear with the power of prayer.

These days, I am counting my blessings more often as we stay sequestered. Reopening our respective towns will not be easy but there is hope now, I believe.

Annie and I are enjoying having our two boys, Benji and Timmy, home again. When not complying with a government-ordered quarantine, Benj works in D.C. for the consulting firm Water Street Partners.

My favorite recollection of the Calvert football team was the ‘Suber Sneak,’ where our massive front line would part the enemy forces, and while the entire blocking force ran to the right in front of Charlie Jenkins, he made a sly handoff to Suber Huang, who would sneak through a gap in the center of the line for a big gain before some huge linebacker flattened him.

During my time at Gilman, I was good friends with Alex, and used to spend the night at his home in Roland Park often.

John Purnell and his wife, Claire, in their 30th year together in Annapolis, “quarantine well together,” he wrote, and “her office is now in our dining room where she is designing books for the Smithsonian and for other customers.

Last year I took the plunge, and bought the ‘retirement home’ down in the warmer climes of central Florida. 

Bill Spragins’ “two major life changes in 2019,” he wrote, included that “after 34 years of living in Denver, Colorado, I decided I was not paying enough taxes, so made the move to the San Francisco area to be with my girlfriend, Barbara, whom many of you met at the 40th reunion, and her son, Spencer, who is in 10th grade.

Suber Huang, who was scheduled to be the keynote speaker for the Calvert School’s class of 1970 50th reunion, until that event was postponed amid the pandemic, focused his update less on his ball-carrying skills and more on concerns, including his son’s role in addressing the worldwide plague.

My life is rather strange, even by the current standard. I am living alone. Ann, my wife, is ‘trapped’ in Anguilla, which has not allowed entry to anyone since early April. Ann went back to Anguilla on March 6.

While COVID is a big deal here, as in Baltimore, I think we will have enough beds, ventilators, and PPE.

I am working from home, as most are these days. I must say I don’t like it, as I have always tried hard to separate my work life and my home life. Now that I know I can do it, I just may work from the beach on Fridays this summer, if we are ever allowed to go.

Kirk Smith assured us that “I’m still conducting in various locations around the world and looking forward to the world opening up again. I’m also working from home in the CBD industry as well as world travel. As (Leonard) Nimoy used to say, ‘Fascinating.’”

Dixon Harvey wrote from his home just outside Baltimore that “the most important things on the personal front are that as Janet and I get ready to celebrate our 35th anniversary, our kids, their spouses, and our grandson are all healthy and doing fine through the shutdown."

Garrett Waters’ evangelistic forays and recent sermonizing coincide with his “working part time at present, and thus, have some money to pay my necessities.”

We are all still healthy, and we now count ourselves among the luckiest. Even though Switzerland has among the highest infection rates in the world, social distancing is the default condition in the mountains, so the general lockdown is not very difficult for us.

Also living in Baltimore, Scott Graham wrote that his wife, Beth, is a yoga teacher, their daughter, Maria, is finishing up college, and of the older two children out of school, Duncan lives in San Francisco and is a “techie,” while Rachel is living in Hampden and is a wellness coach.

Among our classmates already making life changes when the pandemic hit was Nick Richardson, who wrote that, “I changed employers at the end of last year leaving M&T to go to Fulton Bank, still in the capacity as an SVP and senior lender."

We are still in Philly as well, and I’m still working for GSK Pharma R&D. I’m also hoping to hang in there for three or more years. Hope everyone is doing well during these difficult times!

Keith Christian, weighing the culinary offerings of Philadelphia and Baltimore, is “still working in law enforcement,” he wrote, but only “a couple more years, and I’ll hang it up. As much as I love hoagies, I miss steamed crabs.”

Charlie Steinberg tallied that this spring marked “the 44th anniversary of our Encounter projects — and mine is beginning its 45th year..."

Angus Finney and his wife, Allyson, were preparing to move to Table Rock Lake, Mo., later this year.

After becoming the 1,459th person to spend the winter at the South Pole, Antarctica in 2015/2016, Darby is now the Partner and COO of the largest independent craft brewery in the country of Colombia. He is still a chef and world traveler while he builds his companies in South America and around the world.

Elizabeth and I returned on March 1 from Belize to our home in Butler, Md., just in time to go into quarantine at home where we have been ever since.

We are still living in Albuquerque and are now legal guardians of our late daughter’s two sons, Jaewon Choi (age 16) and Jin Choi (age 13).

Looking back 60 years, I think we were fortunate to be at Gilman under the leadership of Henry Callard and to be taught by such a gifted faculty.

I have gotten much pleasure lately out of remembering Traveling Men practices at Bill Porter’s house.

No thoughts of retiring from my law practice and civic activities yet. Katie and I are doing more traveling.

2020 started out like any other year here in Italy, then in early February came the news about the spread into Italy of this mysterious coronavirus.

I have produced a new Dixie-Land music piece entitled, “Gilman Strut” on my keyboard and hope the next time we get together in Baltimore, I can play it for you.

What a bummer! Heading into my 79th year, I was hoping Jo and I could get in a little travel, a successful sale of our house in Louisville, and perhaps some of the cold months in Florida or other points south.

In this time of COVID-19, and with the possibility of dying a premature death, I find myself feeling the preciousness of each day.

Hi everyone, it’s so good to hear from all of you! Sit down, folks, because I have a lot to tell you.

Since our class cannot connect this spring as hoped, I send greetings from Colorado, where I am still staying  busy. Three things have occupied most of my time over the past year, at least until six fatal weeks of ignorance and deception by a dangerously corrupt and self-serving national administration literally put the lives of our “vulnerable cohort” in danger.

Ski season in Colorado (and my job on Aspen Mt.) ended abruptly on March 14 and Aspen looks like a ghost town now. 

Charlie Bradford and his wife, Sue, in retirement, enjoy living in an old family farmhouse on 40 acres in Marshfield, Mass.

Johann Torres is now the senior medical director and chief medical information officer at Miami Beach Community Health Center where he is also an internist and HIV specialist.

On a personal note, I’ve finally retired and am enjoying the peace and quiet.

On a personal note, my wife of 61 years, Evie, (nee Gans) was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in early 2020. There is no cure, but rather than curse the darkness, we have chosen to celebrate the incredible life we have had together.

He has been caring for his wife, Betsy, who has suffered with Alzheimers for 15 years.

George Shriver passed away in a retirement home in Tucson, Ariz., on April 24, 2020.

Our Pacific Northwest classmate and lacrosse-legend-turned-treefarmer, Sam Sadler, had this to report...

Another scholar athlete and class treasurer, Cliff Harding, reported that as a member of the “Octo Generation,” he is acutely aware of life’s changes.

Carlton Seitz was newsy as always. Here are the highlights...

Class vice president and classmate voted most popular, Neil Bouscaren, reports that, “Nothing of significance here, still doing a few surveys solo of local fauna and flora for local NGOs.”

Frank Loweree reported that his “big news is that I moved back in with my present wife of 37 years after living under separate roofs for nine years. We both mutually decided that living alone as octogenarians wasn’t much fun.”

Lew Rumford and Fran have had much to do over the past few years, including the sale of their wonderful home in D.C. and the purchase and renovation of two condo units into one large one in a lovely D.C. building not far from the Naval Observatory. 

Being in an assisted/independent living facility, Nancy and I are very restricted, and not by our own limiting. No activities, no dining room socializing, no trips, i.e. no diversion.

John still pursues his great love of sailing, but no longer as a skipper.

Among our scholar athletes (I was neither) is former Class President Charlie O’Donovan, who is living the life of the typical ninth-decader and lamenting the fact that it’s spring, the grass is green, the trees are full, the flowers are blooming, BUT — as of this writing, the golf courses are closed thanks to COVID-19.
