Cover Story: 3 Alumni Profiles, pages 4 to 19 Owning a pet is one experience kids can’t get living in the shelter. After moving out, Morrison & his brother raised Piggie from a tiny baby, a gift from their mom’s boyfriend. Piggie nuzzles their legs like a cat & wags his tail like a dog, but the constant sound of soft snorting is a reminder that Piggie is all pig. Morrison is also currently fascinated with his new electric typewriter. He spends a lot of time typing and arranging documents, “seeing how it works, testing it out.” One of his favorite activities with his brother is making stop-motion animation movies with Lego models. To shoot the stills for their movies, the boys use the brand-new digital cameras they were given as participants of My Picture Perfect Summer. Morrison likes that his mom is now an Our House board member. “I think it’s a better chance for us to see the people here. It’s fun to tell them what it used to be like.” Who better to tell them than one of Our House’s most successful young alumni? continued on page 18: the boys’ advice for kids
