The Newest Friend of OCUPOP

Thursday, August 31st, 2006

Archer Evan Cooke

We are a few weeks behind on this one but OCUPOP would like to congratulate our friends Tony and Nicole and welcome Archer Evan Cooke to the world (Wide Web).

In his spare time, he enjoys hanging out on MySpace and putting off prepping for the PSAT.

Kids these days…

Welcome Archer aboard and check out his site at archer.40weight.com
