Montgomery County health officials, in collaboration with the Maryland Department of Health and the Virginia Department of Health, are investigating a confirmed case of measles and advising individuals who may have been exposed to monitor for any potential symptoms. While most individuals in the United States are vaccinated against measles, exposure poses potential risk to those who have not been vaccinated.


The individual contracted measles outside of the United States; developed symptoms here; received a confirmed diagnosis May 23; and is currently under medical care. Listed below are the dates, times and locations of the potential exposures associated with the individual diagnosed with measles:

Williams decided his next move would be attending and playing for Montgomery College-Germantown (at the time, each campus had separate athletic teams). While he was at MC, he grew 7 inches, becoming a 6’9 forward by his sophomore year.

His growth spurt and effective play at MC garnered the attention of Georgetown Hoyas head coach John Thompson, who offered Williams a scholarship. Williams averaged a double-double, with over 10 points and 10 rebounds per game in his first year at Georgetown, finishing his Georgetown basketball career with averages of 10.5 points and 9.3 rebounds per game. While at Georgetown, he played with NBA players Allen Iverson, Don Reid, and Othella Harrington.


Gaithersburg

I dont think I’d ever jump out of an airplane…it’s just not my thing. Because of that, I was a bit hesitant to give iFly a shot, but since it was finally in MoCo I knew I had to.

​Yesterday, I was able to go in for my first iFly experience at their Gaithersburg location (9400 Gaither Road). I had a great time and I recommend it as an activity you can do solo, with friends, on a date, or with the whole family.


Gaithersburg

Having grown up in Gaithersburg, heading over to The Airport Cafe to watch the planes was something I’d do once every couple years. As I’ve gotten older, enjoying their $15 all-you-can-eat brunch buffet on Sundays has made it a deal that’s tough to beat.

Outdoor seating, plane-watching, brunch, and an inexpensive good time for the whole family.
