Elizabeth and Her Dad
Celebrate His 90th Birthday
On September 8, 2001, my
sister Jean and her husband Bob held a party for my family to
celebrate dad's 90th birthday.
My friends, looking at this picture, wonder not
only at dad's health but exclaim, "Will you look at that hair and
that devilish twinkle in his eye!"

"The Commodore"
For many years, one of
my father's real joys was sailing his 27' boat on Long
Island Sound. Like everything else dad undertook, sailing
was more than just an amusement. He studied it and until
he was 85 (!) taught navigation at the Power Squadron.
