Happy, Happy Birthday Jeff!! Three quarters of a century may sound like a long time, but how does it feel? Maybe not so long? Here's to the the next 3/4s, or whatever we can get out of it. You and yours be well-Take Care!!

Happy Birthday Janet!

Cari and I kept in touch mainly by texts, messenging and phone calls. We connected late one night when I was in La Ventana Baja. She was responding to some photos that I had posted on Facebook. They had spent their vacations for years at San Filipe, Baja, where they owned a house. She missed going there and felt that she would never go down again for Cari's husband had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. She missed their conversations so much. So, I would send her lots of pictures of my times down there, she said that she was living viCARIously through me.

Months later, Cari shared with me that she suffered from PCS, a rare autoimmune disease of the liver ducts. She had a transplant 3 years before the condition returned and she was not a candidate to recieve another. She was struggling. I felt helpless. I wanted to see her, but she did not want me to see how rough the disease had been on her. She said that she felt like a Warrioress, (which is imagery that I use in my artwork), so I told her that I would make her  Warrioress Pendant. She loved it and sent me a picture of herself wearing the pendant. I treasure the picture and wanted to share it with you all. Cari still looked beautiful to me.

Hi Jody! (Not sure how all these replies work, so I'm sticking this in several places in hopes it gets to you-and others.)
Thanks so much for your interest and comments. Gary's name is not on the memorial because he did not die in combat in Vietnam. While he was in the army at the time, he was home on leave between six month assignment in Vietnam when he was lost. I am sorry about that (and, as you will read later in his story, so most definitely was Gary-probably). If you are in the DC area again, and so inclined, Gary is buried in Arlington National Cemetery (resting place of many other heroes and presidents) in a 'group' grave with the recovered remains of other service (mostly Navy) members on the flight with him when the aircraft went down in Alaska

See my narrative on Gary Lotze's life 1964-67 under "In Memory" 1967.

Happy Birthday Bobbie!

Happy Birthday my dear friend! I hope that you are having a very special day??????
