lemme say right out that this is not about the dedicated volunteer, or going the extra mile, or stretching resources to "git 'er done" as the lil' jesuit dude likes to say...

nope - this is about honest to goodness passion, the personal connection, yeah - i'm talkin' about love...

here's the scoop - two people might never have met, fell in love, and gotten engaged if it hadn't been for tcask and their mutual opposition to the death penalty...

he had been volunteering his graphic design work to tcask for over a year -- she was the vice president of the mtsu tcask chapter in murfreesboro .... both made major contributions to our work and mission...they had never met...

then came justice day on the hill in late march ... he came to shoot pictures for tcask -- she came to lobby as part of the contingent organized by board chair amy staples...

they both knew me and went with me to pick up our 60 sack lunches from kijiji coffeehouse on jefferson street...she asked him if she could buy him lunch and handed him a brown paper sack lunch with a water (which tcask had paid for, of course!)...

they had their first date the next night and have been seeing each other since ... she moved to knoxville for the summer due to being smitten with adoration for him and he proposed to her on july 16th, 2006 at which point she belted out a very loud "yes!"

she has a beautiful ring and their plans are for her to finish a degree in criminal justice at mtsu and for him to move closer to her ... he will study photography, continue doing his fine art and
curating d/a 73 gallery + imprint online....

congratulations to ginger and wright!!!! and that's the true story of the passion o' abolition...

peace out <3
