Tribute Post: Andy "McGregor" Wales turns 25!

Well, this was supposed to go up earlier, but here it is:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDY WALES!

Andy is new to the Jar of Paperclips team but he's an old friend to all of us in real life. I first met Andy at some point during 11th grade at Sanderson HS. My earliest memory of him is corroborated in the SHS yearbook and it involves an insane number of t-shirts worn all at once, making him look obese. Since then, I've really enjoyed knowing this guy. He even came to France and hung out for a couple weeks!

Susan and I thought we'd do a "favorite memories" thing and this is what we came up with: not many people were available for comment. But here's what fellow longtimer Jessica "J-dubs" Williams had to say:

me: yo jessica

2:29 PM Jessica: sure
2:32 PM me: ok
Q: What is your favorite memory of Andy?
Jessica: hmmm

3:36 PM Jessica: sorry working too

So there you have it. I'll close with this great picture of a great guy...and Michael Pearce. (just kiddin' Michael!) (blingee to follow). And feel free to add your favorite memories of Andy in the comments!
