Serendipity in Salt Lake City

Karen Pierce called me the day after my mom died and asked if I was going to be in Salt Lake City.  Her daughter Hailey's Utah reception was going to be while I was there!  I told her -- "I'll be there."  So tonight I made a quick stop at the end of the reception to say hello.  The Pierces were in Boston for Dave to attend grad school at Tufts.  They were grad school dorm resident assistants and had a sweet set up for an apartment.  And they had a field next door that we called "Pierce Field" and we met there numerous times for BBQs and baseball games.  It was so fun to see them briefly tonight.  Hailey was a beautiful bride.  #arlingtonwardfriendsareforever
