PICTURES

and the stories behind them

This picture was taken during the 6th grade graduation. Matt is in the middle, and towering above him are the abnormally tall Mike Fiorenza (left) and David Berg (right).

A 6th grade picture of Matt attending the conformation of Mike Fiorenza. Beside him sits Alwin Bergler and Allessandro Olivero. Even here we can see the beginning of Matt's infatuation with plain foods!

Here is Matt in the ninth grade DJing a middle school dance. Matt was known for always being behind the scenes, and not in the scene. Beside Matt is Eric Cardell (then in 9th grade) and Adam Fluger (8th grade).

Matt and friends on the Loire Valley Field Trip

The Loire Valley field trip: the 'gourmet' food that the ISB faculty promised us turned out to be a bit less than 'gourmet'.

Matt holding the accidently backwards '1' from the class of '2001'. Below him you can (barely) make out Sam Laub and Alwin Bergler.

Mike Fiorenza's accidental dropping of my camera. The feet you see are: Matt Norton (left), Eric Cardell (top), Cecile Toubeau (right), and Mike Ramsey (bottom).

Matt working on the '1' (the one that he's holding above) for the yearbook staff.
