Dan is the latest to have a baby this year! Last week. That makes at least four of us (along with Amato, Taguba, Scholz) with babies born in '08. I guess they will be the class of 2026??? We'll only be 58 then.

My wife, Heather, and I live in Oakland (near Bill Rogers of '86) with our son Daniel Aidan (who's just over 2 and we call him "Aidan") and our new son Lucas Gardiner, who was born on June 27, 2008. I've attached pictures. Heather and I have been together for 10 years (married since Oct. 2001). We met at a consulting firm. Now, we run our own firm while I teach at U. of San Francisco.
Other '86ers I see are Scot Kobashigawa, Chris Gillis, Jim Meehan, Dan Moore, Mitch Hunter, Mike Borke, Jim Donaldson, Jimmy McManus, and Rudy Oest. We had a softball team until this year (beginning in 1990, when Jeff Ondeck started it...he's in Dallas now with wife and kids).
