Right Next Door


I am reminded recently of how FotoFink has become more than just a photo website.  Of late, there seem to be three identities- photo sales (thank you all for that), an archive of memories, and a small community.  It is the sense of community that brought me to the Wilkes gym on Saturday- with 2 players and a coach on the women's basketball squad that had some FotoFink history, it seemed fitting to get some shots of some alumni who were right next door.

Amanda Palowski has been appearing on FotoFink since our first year, which was also Hoban's last.  That shot was from a memorable playoff game in Hershey, and was probably the last appearance of a Bishop Hoban sports team.  Since then, she's been on the basketball court, she's been caught in an embarrassing moment or two on the sidelines (she still says its a scratch...), we've watched her graduate, and now, after taking a long road to Wilkes, she's back.

Megan Kazmerski joined the ranks after the great merge.  As part of the girls volleyball team, she helped bring Holy Redeemer its first district championship in 2007.  After that, she was also part of the girls basketball team, and their runs into the state tournaments.  We were fortunate enough to be there for the prom (that's Meg in the yellow) and of course, we were there as she graduated as well.  As of now, she's a huge part of the Wilkes team in her freshman year.

Meredith Alexis was part of the Bishop Hoban community BFF (not what you are thinking.....  try Before FotoFink....).  After a stellar high school career in both basketball and volleyball, she went on to play basketball at James Madison University, then played professionally in Europe before returning home.  Just an FYI- no, I did not just happen to know all of that-  in this world of facebook and google, we have no secrets anymore.  Meredith was part of the coaching staff that took the boys volleyball team to the state tournament last year, and even managed to crack a smile on camera by the end of the season.  Currently coaching basketball and volleyball at Wilkes, she seems to have found a recurring place here on the website.

Alright- as noted, FotoFink is a community, FotoFink is an archive, but FotoFink is a place to buy pictures as well.  Feel free to do so-
