Since I was in my last year at school I decided with many friends to go out and get a hotel room for the millennium changeover. This was at the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/@42.1188964,-79.1973044,170m\/data=!3m1!1e3\" target=\"_blank\">Budget Inn in Falconer, NY at the Corner of East Main Street and County 380<\/a>.

Brandy and Jamie ended up crashing for a month or two in <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/@42.1757111,-79.0996725,85m\/data=!3m1!1e3\" target=\"_blank\">Kennedy, NY<\/a>, and subsequently Jamie and I got serious.

Many months later when you&#8217;re told you&#8217;re going to be a father it becomes a bit of a shocker. The Fall of 2001 I&#8217;m getting a Cheek swap at <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/@42.0965026,-79.2380749,170m\/data=!3m1!1e3\" target=\"_blank\">Jamestown City Hall<\/a> to determine if I am the father of <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hailie.bennett.92\/posts\/311055609057062\" target=\"_blank\">Hailie Bennet<\/a>, who was born 24 June 2001.
