  • Today's my last day on the 'old job'.  Here are some things that I found hidden away in my old office area (in boxes, bottoms of drawers, etc.). 


    The clip-bound underlying title page is to my 90-page Master's thesis entitled "A View of the Future: A Multiple Discriminant Analysis Approach Assessing Moody's Investor Service's Visionary Prowess In Rating Municipal Bonds". ha! (repeats to self:  *i'm not a prophet, i'm not a prophet* )


    The clipped article reads:

    6-year-old leaves game to make heroic catch  
                                                      New Haven, Conn.     


      Javon Saucier was playing football when he made a 30-yard dash to complete the greatest reception of his life: catching a 3-year-old neighbor falling from a window.
      "I knew I could catch him," 6-year-old Javon said.  "People were calling me, 'Javon, the hero.'"
      Brandon Ellison missed a lower window ledge by inches as he fell from a second-floor window, about 15 feet off the ground, into Javon's arms.  Neither boy was injured in the incident Thursday evening.


    That article is at least 10 years old and it still gives me goosebumps and I get all choked-up whenever I reread it.  It is, no doubt, one of the greatest football receptions of all time!
