— QR Code Series¹

In 2010 mother, Elaine, took my son, Ryan, and his friend Hillel, to the Aventure Mall, in northeast Miami-Dade county. If you’re not familiar with that mall, it’s one of the biggest in the US. They ate lunch at Johnny Rockets across from the movies. When they were leavin they spotted Mark Whalberg.

My mom always carries an “instamatic” camera, and they asked Mark for a photograph. He was very kind and posed with his arm around Ryan and Hillel. The picture cane out blurry but you can tell it is Mark.

My mom thanked him and said, “I love you in Blue Bloods”, which is one of her favorite TV shows. Mark said, “That’s my brother Donnie, not me.” He was a good sport about it!!
