Still seeing, takes photos now and then, but with nowhere to display them, sell them, or have creditials to events, he just takes photos with his minds-eye. Married, with three grown children.

  1. I’m giving this “coin” twice. Some for the longest blog post title ever, and more for the great photo.

    Great frame Garry. I wonder if any of these people were at Saturday’s memorial.
