On This Day, January 12 1978
It was exactly thirty years ago today. January 12, 1978 was a cold snowy day in Rhode Island, and I was on my way to school when a photographer from The Observer, a local newspaper stopped to take a picture of a small group of students. I was the youngest of the group, bundled up in my Snoopy hat and scarf. I loved that scarf more than anything. My older brother Joe was standing directly behind me. I remember the photographer instructed us to "look cold". It wasn't difficult to do. The next day we made the cover of the paper, much to the delight of our family. I was thrilled to see my picture in print...
