Harrigan Tales

Looking back 22 years ago and yes I remember where I was and what I was doing. I was working for Travelers Insurance in the field office. It was a day like every other or so I thought.

The Babes of Class of 2023

These kids are now seniors and envisioning their dreams. Feel free to tag friends and anyone else you see in the video. You will recognize many of these precious faces. We were lucky enough that Walker’s 3rd grade class got to read to them as well.
