This photo is a "keeper"

Posted by Fred Steiner on February 25, 2016 - 3:36pm

We've not seen the end of this terrific photo.

We predict severall things:
• it will eventually be in a high school yearbook when Bracyn is a senior. 

• it will also be on a high school graduation invitation.
• chances are good it might even appear in a wedding photo display some day, too.
• adding it to Facebook, it will now reach across the globe.
