Off to a friendly start

The world shrank last night in the most unimaginable – but best possible – way. My cousin was in Jeremiah Armenta’s wedding. (Alum) Willie Allen said during his welcome that we are a family. I told Jeremiah that he and I are like cousins in more than one way now. Jeremiah told me that he skateboarded when he lived in Little Rock. My cousin, Oby, is a big skateboarder from Arkansas, so I thought I’d just ask if Jeremiah knew him. Did he ever. That made for a nice, friendly start for me in this network of journalists.
