attorney for abused and neglected
youth. My career is definitely a lot to
handle, but the joy that I help bring to
families by ensuring the welfare of
children is priceless. On June 19, I
was married in Cancun, Mexico. We
honeymooned in the Riviera de Maya in
Mexico. A big shout-out goes to Kenya
Allen ’02, who served as a groomsman
for my big day. My wife is an assistant
attorney general for the Maryland
Department of Health and Mental
Hygiene. We met while working on
related projects at court in Baltimore.”
Bruce Adcock writes: “My wife,
Mousam Kayastha Adcock, and I had
our first baby boy, Rayhan Kayastha
Adcock, Feb. 4. In early July, we were
in Nepal, Mousam’s home country,
where we celebrated Rayhan’s ricefeeding
ceremony (see photo online).
We live in Columbus, Ohio. Mousam
is an architect at Acock Associates
Architects. I am finishing my Ph.D.
in computer science and look forward
to graduating this December.”
As for me, I started a new job in
April at CBIZ Insurance Services in
Plymouth Meeting, Pa. I work as a
marketing associate in the property
and casualty business unit for the Mid-
Atlantic region. My husband, Mike,
and I were also expecting our first
little one in October!
