Congratulations to the Stamidis family. Mark Stamidis and wife Kathy welcomed their little girl, Elliana Zoe, in September 2021. Before too long she’ll be chasing her older brother, Christian, himself a very spunky 3½-year-old who is growing up way too fast. Congratulations, also, to Darby Butts for the continued success of 20Mission Cerveza Gastropub, which is thriving in Medellín, Colombia. The brewery has developed into a multi-category food and beverage company and will soon be exporting. Darby is now the Vice Chairman on the Board of Directors. (Prather note: If you haven’t already, you should check out 20Mission Cerveza online. A seriously next-level establishment!) Though busy with operations in Medellín, Darby travels whenever possible. A recent highlight: doing wildlife conservation work at Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya, specifically with the last two northern white rhinos on the planet. When Darby travels, I suspect he does so in airplanes.
