The greetings were inspired by passers-by, who sent text messages to McCann (she posted her cellphone number), filled out forms or simply shouted suggestions as they walked past the lot on East 33rd Street.

After hours of labor, Enso Martinez cried as his wife, Rebecca Fielding, was carried from their Waverly home on a stretcher en route to Johns Hopkins Hospital. Fielding, who had wanted to deliver her baby at home with the help of a midwife, assured her husband that everything would be OK. But she never expected to wait more than two hours for an emergency Caesarean section after being rushed to the hospital by ambulance that morning in March 2010. If a team of doctors and nurses had performed the surgery earlier, Martinez and Fielding contend, their son, Enzo, would now be a normal 2-year-old boy practicing new words and toddling across the floor.

Klaiber's numbers paled in comparison to DiBartolo's 11.41 goals-against average and .555 save percentage in his freshman year, but Klaiber made every start in the Mountaineers' 15-game schedule.
