We have lots of births to celebrate, too!

Spencer Meyer and wife Joanna Lisker Meyer ’02 had their second son, Silas Robert Meyer, in January. Spencer adds, “His big brother Andrew, 3, is quite smitten but wishes Silas would do more than ‘just sit there.’ We’re still in the Bangor, Maine, area and would love to have visits from anyone headed to Acadia National Park or the end of the earth.”
