Damon Barglow is still at Eastern Investment Advisors managing growth portfolios. He recently was promoted to managing director and is now running Eastern's institutional businesses as well. He and wife Beth still live in Arlington, Mass., with their two children and recently bought a new house that they are really enjoying. Damon writes: "Our children, Raphael (4) and Rachel (1) continue to blossom. Mom sold the house in Chicago and moved to San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. We made one semi-successful trip there last December (never travel with two young children on Christmas Eve!) and will attempt it again in October this year. It is a beautiful city and worth the trip. Lastly, I am finding some time to do a little bit of community activism focused on improving Arlington's school system."
