Matt as I knew him:

I wasn't hanging out with them at this point -- I stopped going to Goth Night while I was dating Daniel, mainly because I was also a government reporter and had to work several nights a week. I believe this was taken right around Jessica's graduation from VCU.


Matt and Jessica



They were great friends -- of course, Matthew had once wanted to date Jessica, even though she'd had an on-again, off-again relationship with Matt's best friend John. Matthew fell in love with everyone. It was part of his charm.

This is Matt all over.
