[Dedication]
I consider meeting Jonah He during my time at Wentworth Institute of Technology one of the biggest blessings and most significant milestones of my life. Because of Jonah, I have been fortunate enough to meet extraordinary people that I now consider my family. We have shared countless experiences together in a very short amount of time; constituting some of the most precious and treasured memories of my life. I truly enjoy spending time with everyone and it joys me everytime we are together. My hope is that this book will serve as a constant reminder of the times we have shared and how much I care for all of you! This book is dedicated to the He Family on Christmas 2018 as an expression of my love and appreciation for all that they have done and continue to do for me. With Love, Thomas Cracolici 03

The John Williams Film Night Concert almost didn’t happen because of the wet conditions. We all ended up deciding to go despite the rain, it was worth it! John Williams was present for most of the performance and provided humorous commentary in between in each piece (at the remarkable age of 87).

[Pemaquid Maine] Pemaquid, ME
Thanks to the planning of Fiona and John, this trip up to the beautiful Pemaquid Bay Lakehouse AirBNB came to fruition. The whole family, John ‘s Mom and stepfather, and Tom were all able to come up for an extended weekend trip. The weekend featured many fun and exciting activities including snail/crab catching, kayaking & boating, fishing, relaxing at the lakehouse, biking, hiking, touring the visiting smalltowns, shopping in specialty stores, viewing the gorgeous scenery, and of course, cooking and eating spectacular food.
