the birth of his twin girls Greta and Eloise Markari-
anMadden onOctober 17, 2011. Taylor said,“Twin
fatherhood is lots of fun, but probably the most
exhausting thing I've ever done. I'm getting lots
of use out of the rain shield for our double stroller
this winter in soggy Eugene, Ore., and looking
forward to summer when school is out and I get
to be a stay-at-home dad for a couple of months.”
Taylor’s wife, Molly Markarian, is an alumna of the
St. Lawrence Spain program.
To join all of these beautiful girls,
Erica RappWil-

are loving every minute.”
Congrats to everyone on their new bundles.
Babyhood ies by. We’ve had two babies in two
years here at the Gallagher house and it is some-
thing like chaotic bliss every day!
Keep me posted on all of the changes in your
lives.

Meghan Maguire
wrote me from North Shore,
Andrew Spahr '09 (right) and Jenn Gross '08 met Geoff Peters '99 on Isla Mujeres,
an island off Cancun, on February 27, 2012. It’s reasonable to assume the day’s
meteorological conditions were different there from those in their places of residence
in Northern New York (Peters) and the Boston area.
