By coincidence (we suppose), the ol' neighborhood has a surfeit of vintage 1991 babies who are no longer babies. Oh, baby! And now they're graduating from high school and about to leave home in just a few short weeks. Oh, yes — and they're all boys (must have been something in the water)! What will we do without them?
The new graduates include (but are not limited to):
• Paolo Perez (above, left) of the Elm Street (and East Broadway) Perezes. The oldest of three brothers, this talented Stratford High grad is headed off to Hofstra University.
• Joe Rooney of the Shore Drive Rooneys, also the oldest of three brothers (and one sister). This Notre Dame/Fairfield grad is following in the footsteps of his father, attorney Chris, by enrolling in the University of Virginia.
• Chris Monk (at left, above right) of the Elm Street ("leaning house") Bingham-Monks. The oldest of one boy, Chris just graduated from Fairfield Prep, and like his BFF Joe Rooney (actually, they're all BFFs) is heading down to the heart of the Confederacy to study international business at the University of South Carolina.
• Nick Vazquez (at right, above right) of Birdseye Street (okay, technically not in "Old Stratford," but close enough) is about to graduate from Stratford High and, like these boys' former St. James basketball teammate Drew Massey of Lordship, will enroll at UConn/Storrs in the fall.
Congrats one and all — we'll miss you!
