Faith Hope Consolo Is Even More Fabulous Than You Might Have Originally Thought!!!

To understand where we are now, you must know where we came from.  Because where someone comes from is the best prediction of where they will be going.  We quote Robert B. Brandegee in "The Farmington Myth": When the Lord made the world, He made Asia, Africa, and Europe, and last of all He made North and South America.  He made the Americas with special care, as this is the place where the nations of the world would come together.  When the Lord was making New England, one of the little angels asked that he too might make a state.  So the Lord let him make the State of Connecticut.  As the little angel shaped the rivers and built up the mountains, his cheeks were red with excitement.  But when the work was nearly finished there was a large hollow and all the material was gone.  But the Lord took him kindly by the hand, and the Lord took from the folds of his mantle some of the stuff of which paradise is made and He fitted it into the hole and the place was FARMINGTON.  And at Farmington, we were taught to write well, among other skills.  Tenth grade English class was the best because of Mover and Shaker Rennie McQuilkin.  And the fun classmates of course like Mover and Shaker Chrishaunda Lee and Mover and Shaker Melody Fader, and a few more girls with Peachy; there were about ten in the class.    They loved it there, and they are all glad they passed 10th grade English and know it's not who you know, it's Whom You Know because Mr. McQuilkin used to say that over and over, and that is how this site got its name.  But though Farmington was beautiful and quaint, not much happened there so senior year, Mr. McQuilkin got Peachy Deegan an internship at CBS News Sunday Morning with Charles Kuralt and Missie Rennie.  And she loved it and recognized that things happen in Manhattan.  In January 2009 she started Whom You Know.  We've written over 7,000 posts and we love to celebrate people that excel in what they do.   And Faith Hope Consolo excels in what she does, and we didn't know she was an ancient until we were talking to her at San Pietro over lunch, but it makes so much sense.  And then we found out she was also a Possum and a Perilhette.  We're not sure anyone is beating her right now in brownie points!!!!  And she drank The Peachy Deegan:
Get excited for even more fabulous news from another fabulous Ancient who is even a possum and better yet a Perilhette!!!!!
