They would often have "dance parties" in their dorm room together, and frequently stayed up late talking before bed about anything and everything in college.

Eric was possibly James' first friend in High School. He had seen him in a store one day and the next day, James asked Eric to sit with him for breakfast. From there, they walked to school every day together, played tennis together and worked together. When it time to leave for college, their friendship never waned, constantly playing video games together and meeting up whenever their paths would cross. They both share an uncomfortable knowledge about The Simpsons. And spend a lot of time watching the Bruins together.

Nina and Andrea have been friends for 25 years!! They are each other's longest friendship. They met in kindergarten when they were in the same class with Mrs. Belliveau, and have remained friends ever since. Growing up, they lived very close to each other in Groton so they loved to play outside, go for bike rides, visit the "corner store" and swim in Nina's pool together. They have shared so many wonderful memories and have been apart of major milestones in each other's lives over the years. Distance has never changed their relationship, and they always pick up right where they left off. Nina lives with her husband Jeff and two adorable children, Addie and Robbie in New Jersey.
