Ms. Oglivie adds:

Shout out to Mariano Rivera who was taking a picture with a group of students including my son when I shouted to him: “Somos Panamenios!” Mariano: “Oh wow! Es Verdad? Me: “Si! Soy la sobrina de Ben Oglivie (Left Field, champ batter and All Star from the Milwaukee Brewers) y mi mama era de Colon” His bodyguards started to pull him away from all the people pulling on him and he says: “Wait! Let me take a picture with my guy (referring to Jamil)” then he gestured me into the pic. Great great guy! Que viva Panama!

and:

I am a proud Child School Legacy High School parent! Changed my son’s life! His name is Jamil Fuller
