Dear Brandon~ We are in awe of all of your "bells and whistles". May you continue to proudly ring those bells and blow those whistles on each stepping stone on the path of your life. We love you infinitely! Mom, Dad and Lulu. “We’re not all the same. Thank goodness we’re not. Life would be boring, and I mean… a lot. And so, when we’re born, we’re supplied at the start with our own bells and whistles to set us apart. Think of your bells as the things you do best things tucked away in your own treasure chest…..” ~Nancy Tillman

Once upon a time, there was a 10-year-old boy named Ethan. Dewey the director put him in charge of giving out programs.
After 2 years, Ethan became old enough to be on stage. Over the next 7 years, he acted in 12 plays. When he wasn’t in a show, he still helped with the programs. Ethan was part of ensembles. He played leading roles, supporting roles, and did everything else requested of him. It is now time for Ethan to leave Dramaland and follow his other dreams. May he live happily ever after! Love, The Ticket Mama, her crazy sidekick, and Madelyn, your favorite sister

All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts. - William Shakespeare
Dear Ben, We have thoroughly enjoyed watching you play so many parts, from elementary school through your senior year of high school. We can’t wait to see what you will do next on an even grander stage. Love Uncle Eric and Amanda
