forms janitorial services at the school. A photo with an identical cloud forma-
tion was taken by a co-worker. Both used their cell-phone cameras. The six

"People tell me every day that they
remember their Joe Cornell involve-
ment so fondly," says Steve Jasgur,
president.
"One guy in his mid-30s told me
how, every time he goes home to his
parents' house, he sees the picture
of him at 13, with braces and baby
fat, dancing with his mother, with
her '80s haircut and makeup, at the
Joe Cornell 'VIP Date Night' dance,"
Jasgur added. "He was so excited
as he reflected on that! These were
good, good times."
