Meet Lucky, the DiOrio Family Golden Retriever.  A couple of my Wheaton students requested that Lucky be included in the website.  His favorite day is 'clarinet lesson day' because he LOVES to greet all of my students as they come in.  He inevitably steals their shoes during their lessons as well.  Isn't he cute?
