One the most fun things I did with my 3 children, was hooking them up with their favorite stars! I drove down the Manhattan with daughter Courtney to meet Mariah Carey then back to NYC when my son Michael wanted to meet Boyz II Men at a charity basketball game. Missions accomplished!

My youngest Matthew turned out to be the easiest....his favorite was Wade Boggs of the World Series champion Yankees! And after he retired in 1999, he became a minor league hitting instructor for the Tampa Bay Rays. At that time the Hudson Valley Renegades were a farm club of Tampa, so when I heard Boggs was visiting Dutchess Stadium in Fishkill, Matt and I drove about 2 miles from our house in Beacon to meet him! This photo I took that day has been framed on my desk at WHUD ever since!

But just about everything else has changed...Dutchess Stadium is now Heritage Financial Park and the Renegades are now a Yankees farm team.....Matthew graduated from SUNY Albany and after years of working behind the scenes in radio, he's now working in the NY State Comptroller's office in Albany. He and wife Cara have 2 beautiful daughters. Boggs has since been inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, and successfully battled prostate cancer. Like I said, everything changes

I can hear Matthew saying "thank you Captain Obvious" LOL.
