In honor of the anniversary of the very first Apple Store opening, I thought I would share some 10 year old photos of me from the opening of the first Apple Store in Minnesota at Mall of America.

Fun fact #1: The top photo is the one that the “Cartoon Patrick” avatar I use on my business site and around the web is modeled on.  

Fun fact #2: The box I’m holding up in the second photo is one I did the Software QA on.

Fun fact #3: The third one is with my dear friend Dawn who stood up for me as my “Best Ma'am” at my wedding. She also did Software QA (we worked together).
