sam, age 8

Here I am in my cha-cha costume after winning first place with my partner at a talent show. This particular pose has seemed to follow me in photos throughout my life. I was always wearing costumes or hamming it up for the camera. I loved twirling around the living room in a long, ruffled, hot pink gown my mom had for dress-up time. Though I was the only boy in my dance class, I got along fabulously with all the girls.
