Yes, I have been mailing someone on this board. They point out Gaithersburg High and Bethesda private school aint exactly the same social circles.
Husband’s college roommate lives in Gaithersburg now and during college mid 1970s. It used to be viewed as the sticks. No way people in Gaithersburg and potomoc/chevy chase traveled in same circles. Its 10 mi apart. 20 min drive and 3.5 hr walk.
