Back in the spring Sam's co-op class was assigned the task of designing their own bird, complete with markings, habitat and diet. Since this assignment came right in the middle of college basketball season, Sam came up with the UK bird and received much praise for his creativity from his teacher. A few weeks ago he decided that he wanted to send a picture of his bird to Coach Calipari as proof that he is Kentucky's biggest fan.
You might be able to imagine the whooping and hollering that filled our house this morning when today's mail brought an envelope addressed to Sam with a return address listing John Calipari, University of Kentucky. Printed in blue ink, of course.
He said he loved the project and thanked him for being a part of the best fans in the world.
Sam's loyalty just got a little stronger.
