Loose Strife

This photo of Casey Kowal was, I think, one of Laura’s favorites that she took in high school. This version was repeatedly photocopied to create the effect.

This page is from college around 1990. I was in a band called BudNuda — which sounds like a peanut butter candy bar, but was supposed to be pronounced boodnooduh. Anyway, lame band name aside, Laura made many of our posters. Some day I’ll put a few of the posters here, but this is a scribble remnant.

In the early 90s Laura collected a lot of these mola patterns. A few days ago I found a notebook of “Design / Motif Ideas” that included notes on her projects. The final table, shown here, is in our living room. A diabalito lotteria card in the middle was mostly ripped off by one of the girls.

The girls and I took a vacation to Arizona and New York City during this year’s February winter break. We had a terrific trip thanks mostly to my sister Karen and her family in Arizona and my old friend Megan and her family in Brooklyn who made traveling so much easier.
