I spent much of the day fighting a stomach bug but headed out this evening to help my friend, Mandy. Mandy and I met in college marching band; we both played piccolo. We’ve been friends now for twelve years and I’ve seen Mandy grow up a lot in that time. She’s been a wonderful friend and tomorrow she moves to Charleston, SC. I will miss her terribly.
This is a picture of her holding a picture of the two of us (I’m in the lower-middle and she’s next to me, lower-right) and three other friends back in the fall of 1998.
