Today is the Day of the Dead and so the girls and I spent some time remembering Laura. This afternoon we stopped by the cemetery to clean up, plant some tulip bulbs, and hang out for a while. As we’ve done in year’s past we created an ofrenda in the living room with various things […]

Like so many other milestones it seems like the time has gone by quickly and yet so much has happened, giving just the opposite sense. The girls were excited by the date; Lily has it memorized.

Bottom left gallery scene was one of Laura’s favorite shots (over-exposed on the proof). Here are also the first of two sheets of the Terraplanes — a band at W&M. Probably the best group in Williamsburg at the time. Mike Kasenter and Jeff ? are playing. I can’t remember the drummer. I’m pretty sure that’s […]

In Mexico during our honeymoon. That was my trusty radio bag that I picked up at a surplus store and had already carried through Fiji, New Zealand, Australia, Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia. I’m wearing a WCWM t-shirt. Shoe shine in the zocalo in Guadalajara bottom left.
