Y19W09a

Normally, the first snapshot of the week wouldn't be on a Thursday, but here's the scoop:

We originally planned to release a snapshot on Tuesday, but we had to delay the release for the following reason:

Our Gorham Schools Resource Officer, Wayne "Pooch" Drown passed away this past Sunday night (February 24) of a heart attack, and I wanted to "pay tribute" to his service throughout all the schools by delaying the snapshot release. Sorry about that!

You may consider reading the full article on the Portland Press Herald here.

But, the good news is, this gave me time to also make strong renovations within the grounds at Hogwarts, including new areas and buildings in Diagon Alley, so keep on looking!
