THE FOOTNOTES

AIMEE IS A UCONN JUNIOR WHO WORKS FOR THE MANSFIELD COMMUNITY CENTER ON A PART-TIME BASIS. SHE WORKS IN THE FITNESS AREA ADVISING MEMBERS ABOUT EXERCISE MATTERS. AIMEE LEARNED OUR NAMES THE FIRST TIME WE MET HER, AND SHE NEVER FAILS TO GIVE US A BIG SMILE AND CALL OUT OUR NAMES WHEN WE COME IN. THIS IS ENOUGH REASON TO LIKE HER ALREADY, BUT SHE MADE A GESTURE THE OTHER DAY WHICH WAS VERY TOUCHING, AND WE WANT TO SHOW YOU, IF MY LIMITED BLOGGING SKILLS WILL ALLOW. MOE WAS SICK LAST WEEK, AND WHEN I WENT TO THE CLUB BY MYSELF, AIMEE WAS ON THE DESK, AND IMMEDIATELY INQUIRED AS TO MOE'S WHEREABOUTS. I EXPLAINED THAT MOE WASN'T FEELING WELL ENOUGH TO EXERCISE THAT DAY. WE EXCHANGED PLEASANTRIES, AND I WENT ABOUT MY WALKING ROUTINE. WHEN I CAME OUT OF THE TRACK AREA, AIMEE WAS WAITING FOR ME WITH THE NOTE FOR MOE WHICH I HOPE TO ATTACH. MOE AND I WERE MOVED BY THE THOUGHFULNESS OF THIS YOUTHFUL FRIEND.
