Mr. O's mom and I grew up together in a small town in the smallest state. The thing about friends in small towns is that if you play sports, you are on the same team with the same people from grade school to high school graduation. Mr. O's mom and I played basketball together, and even though she was a grade older, she became one of my very best friends. In a small town where everyone knows everything about everyone - any personal secrets, high school crushes, anything you don't want everyone to know- you trust very few people with, and for me, she was one of them. We'd walk the track around the Softball field for hours talking about everything and anything. And when she graduated the year before me, she went to Franklin Pierce University- where she met her husband. Franklin Pierce was the first college I ever visited, and the irony is - it's where I now work, in Alumni Relations. Mr. O's mom and I have come full circle, and I love knowing that one of my oldest friends and I still get the opportunities to celebrate milestones - especially the birth of Mr. O! I hope you enjoy the many faces of Mr. O, because I know that it was one of my all time favorite shoots...
