Dave Alpert: I Know Where You’re Going with That

One of my oldest and closest friends died on Friday morning.  I won’t go into detail, but I don’t remember ever feeling so much pain in my heart.  Jennifer was one of the most special people I have ever met.  Her smile and unique nature will be part of me forever.

I don’t want to talk about who she was or what she meant to me, but I want to honor her with this one one fun fact.  When Jennifer was graduating from high school, her dad lived in Hong Kong and ran a business that exported stuff to the US.  He was shipping some of those wallet inserts that hold credit cards and photos, but somehow destroyed the photo fo the model that was to grace the cover of the packaging.  (It’s sort of like those frames you buy with a picture already in them.)  Without any better choice, he used her high school graduation picture for the art work.  Now these inserts were sold all over the US at Woolworth’s until the stores closed in the late ’90s.  I was always comforted by the fact that I could go anywhere in the US and see my good friend.  I don’t remember in which state or when I bought this one, but I just grabbed this from the glove compartment of my car…

I love you, sweetie!
