Viktorija and Michael’s Wedding at the Heinz History Center Sports Museum
Viktorija and Michael met years ago when they were in college. They were good friends with many mutual friends, but went their separate ways upon graduation. All of their friends thought that they should have dated, but they did not. A few years ago, Michael was looking for an old friend in an alumni database when he came upon Viktorija’s sister’s name. He emailed Marija to say “hello” and see how her family was doing. Marija passed along Michael’s new contact information to Viktorija.

Jacqui Konop-Buckley
On Sunday I volunteered my time and photography to The First Annual Jacqui-Konop-Buckley Leukemia Adult Softball Tournament. Jacqui was diagnosed with Myelogenous Proliferative Disorder/Leukemia on 6/3/09. You can read about Jacqui’s story on her website hosted by CaringBridge.org. Last fall, I photographed her and her husband, Rich, who is kind and very supportive. She also has great friends who put together this benefit to help with her medical expenses. When there was a break in the adult softball game, these kids took the spotlight. There are many more photos in the online gallery too. All proceeds from online print orders will benefit Jacqui.

Sometimes there is a huddle, but no set plays, really. Pretty much the best way to play football. Here is event organizer ( and best sister ever, Nicki) modeling this year’s shirts. The black team waiting to play. A fierce bunch. Uncle…
