Dan and Barbara Kim proudly announced the birth of their third son, Jonathan, on April 11. He joins brothers Samuel and Joseph in the Kim household in Seabrook, Texas, where Dan is a physician in a community hospital.

James Bragg paid a visit to San Francisco in April. He was in town for a family occasion but managed to pack in plenty of sightseeing and outdoor activities including a hike with Eric Chin in Palo Alto. The general works for asset management firm Denali Capital and calls Chicago home these days.

Tom Ryan andAnjannette Padilla were married in Los Angeles on May 21. Attendees included Todd Young, Jeff Cole and Peter Lurie '89. An appropriately Euro wedding celebration with Sprockets host Dieter spinning tunes is in the works on Mallorca in late July. The Ryans make their home in N.Y.C., where TR is a senior vice president for mobile development at EMI Music.

ABC News announced on May 30 that Jake Tapper has taken on the role of senior national correspondent. Jake, a three-year veteran of ABC, is based in D.C. and covers political, policy and cultural stories. He will also be a senior political correspondent during the '06 and 'OB election cycles.

"So much to tell since this is the first time I have written a note," says Patricia Brown Ireland. "Michael and I now have two great kids. Jennifer is 5 and reading up a storm. Matthew is almost 3 and has perfected the pesky little brother routine. We have relocated to Shelburne, Vermont, so if anyone is in the area, look us up!"

Alex Glovsky checked in from the Boston 'burbs. He has been lawyering at his firm Nutter McClennen & Fish for nearly 12 years (consistent, that Glover) but more importantly and impressively he is the father of 5-year-old twin boys. He sees Tad Truex and Rick Smyers frequently.

David and Carla Vaccaro are expecting their third child in October. As if a pregnancy and two kids aren't enough to handle, they are also planning a move back to London early next year. David works at Viking Global Investors in Greenwich, Connecticut.

Pat Burtis is moving to an undisclosed location this fall. Word is Dick Cheney may or may not be there and if he is Pat will wisely stand behind him in Kevlar briefs.

Erika Hollern Kelly and Karen White hosted a June get-together in Mill Valley, California, that was a true throw back event including a pong tourney and boxed wine. (MD 20/20 is hard to come by in NorCal.) Attendees included Jon Austen, Yaz Krehbiel, Kim Anstaft Morton and the aforementioned Todd Young.

Speaking of pong, Sophie Griswold reports from Baltimore: "I am the unequivocal pong champion extraordinaire of my med school class. (Really though, what can you expect from a bunch of super-nerdy, didn't leave the library for four whole years, Hopkins med students?) I was unstoppable during our orientation weekend last August and since then, they all live in fear of me!" Clearly, the future of the medical profession is in good hands.
