Never has one small event have such an impact on our lives. I have done a lot in my life and have been a lot of places, but I have never been more humbled and proud than that one night 22 years ago. It hardly seems like 22 years, but it has been one interesting adventure. Congratulations on your senior year and Happy Birthday, Stephen!

A budding superstar!
