Brush With Famous

Well, famous in Chicago and to those who follow Major League Baseball.

Derrek Lee and Mason

Mason and I went to the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum on Monday to see the Butterfly Exhibit and the new Robot Exhibit. We ran into the Chicago Cubs first baseman, Derrek Lee, and his family. Mason wanted a picture with him to give to her grandpa (who has been following the Cubs for over 90% of his 90 years). Derrek was very nice and we snapped a photo very quickly so we wouldn't interrupt his day with his wife and daughter.

In September 2006 Derrek Lee's daughter, Jada, 3 was diagnosed with Leber's congenital amaurosis, a rare genetic disease resulting in loss of vision. Lee and Boston Celtics co-owner and CEO Wyc Grousbeck began Project 3000 in an effort to eradicate the disease affecting both their families.

Besides this picture, we got a lot of good butterfly photos.
