A chance meeting?

Some people believe that things happen because they should and that there are no coincendences. Well here's a story that might make you a believer.

 

The Traveling Wilberry's Fred, Cindy, Corey and I (as detailed by Fred's blog yesterday:) were sitting on a bench in Princeton relaxing before an initial orientation meeting. Fred, being the intrepid photographer that he is, wanted to get a shot of all of us so he flagged down a young man named Matthew, wearing a Tshirt and shorts, who happened to be walking by with his ear buds in.

 

He stopped and agreed to take a picture (Fred sent it out yesterday). We engaged him in conversation and found out that he is going to law school and is near the end of his education. He was meeting his mother for breakfast yet took the time to speak with us.

 

Of course, Fred asked him to join us for lunch to network which he graciously accepted. We were all somewhat surprised when he showed up in a suit no less!

 

Gotham Princeton now has a new potential member and we had a great experience!  Fred will fill in more details below.

Love when that happens.

It's fun to watch the magic unfold, up front and personal.
Matthew was gracious enough to stop for Fred--not realizing this was an important stop---
This may be a new trend.

Next stop; Greenwhich--then Philly!!!

The young man already has his JD and her certainly impressed. I even ceded him my regular seat next to Fred for the lunch.
