Osprey's Nest: Week of November 17, 2011

At the head of the pack…

Liam Adipietro got a welcome from New York’s Mayor Michael Bloomberg and a front row view of his dad’s start in the New York City Marathon on November 6. Ima asked Dr. Frank how it went and he said afterwards, “I did O.K. for an old guy! Liam told me that we will run this race together one day.”

Happy birthday to…

Too good to miss…

It’s well past Halloween but Ima thought this photo sent in by Tracy Gibbs of 3-year-olds celebrating the occasion at their pre-school was well worth printing. From the left, Mary-Kate Labrozzi, Elsie Mae Brigham, Miranda Marcello, Hugo Thiers, Lauren Gibbs, George McDonald and Ms. Regan. (Lexi Jernick and Haidyn Batten missed the photo op.)
