Dad in 1981. I love this picture. He still has the light in his eyes and the animation in his face that Parkinson's later stole from him.

Re-upload of this picture of Dad with his telescope. (The first was flipped backwards.) He built this telescope and ground the lens in the living room of our apartment in Providence, which would be c. 1956-59. Does anyone recognize the location?

Dad looking out over the vista from Mt. Chocoura during a family day hike while vacationing at Lake Winnipesaukee in the summer, probably 1965. Note his white and yellow meerchaum pipe of which he was rather proud.

Dad on our patio in Bethesda, September 1964. I took the picture with my Brownie camera. He was helping me learn about cameras and photography. Note the camera in his left hand, the Leica he owned for as long as I can remember. Lynn standing behind him.

Dad's first flirtation with facial hair ended with shaving off the mustache, in September 1964. This was taken in our living room in Bethesda.

One of John's favorite pastimes was horseback riding. He taught me (Sharon) to ride and I am forever grateful. John, David, and I had some great family vacations centered around riding.
