Thanks Vicki. The web site over the years has generated emails from a number people whose lives were touched by my father in ways I can't even fathom. One man told me he has kept a scrapbook as a sort of shrine to my father. Old girlfriends, classmates, students of his boxing school, neighbors, etc. have all Googled his name, found the site and written me. I recently got an email from an 80+ year old woman who attended art school with him. She told me the only reason she didn't date dad was that she towered over him by about a foot. LOL Jodi-

Pretty tree! My mom had two sisters. The middle girl was the woman some of you might remember from the "Laundry Day" photo, and here's the youngest, Charlotte.

I got 1 winter cactus blooming too but the rest are still in small buds. I was having my roof replaced in the fall and the guys moved all my pot plants to 1 spot. I never had a chance to move them back. One day in mid November, I was watering the plants when to my surprise, found this orchid was blooming! You can see the winter cactus in the back with buds still.

Ron, for the likes of me, I can't remember. It is either a yaupon holly or a pyracantha
