Paul and his Stanford days.....

Paul went to Stanford at 16.

Young...way to young...but hey what's a smart boy to do?

When Paul talked about his time at Stanford he always said that he was lonely and sad.

So you can imagine my surprise when I read this article.

He may have been lonely and sad...but he still had time for mischief!!

Surprise in old suitcase.....

Around this house you never know what 'treasures' lurk in hidden corners or old suitcases.

I've noticed this great old suitcase for years....I always thought it was empty.

Today I looked inside.

It is full of old letters and postcards.....all the mail that Paul ever sent to his Mother and Father.

Rose saved them all and in chronological order.

The letter above was written by Paul when he was a sophomore at Stanford.

The Paris postcard was sent in 1957....I think it's so interesting....especially the part about the 

rock being thrown at the Mona Lisa.....

Arthur Frank - HORSE RACING

Wow...Arthur your book is marvelous!!
A gorgeous narrative of this powerful sport....from start to finish this book tells the visual story of life at the track.
Thumbs up to Karen Robbin's book design.
Congratulations!!
Bravo!!
Here's a link to Schiffer Publishing and Athur's page.

Paul's drawings.....

Paul has started to do some drawing....when he was a boy he did some amazing artwork.
He hasn't drawn in years....and since the stroke he has had no way to really
communicate.
I love this one.
When I looked at it I immediately knew what he was trying to convey...a man
with so much in his head so much he's trying to say and no way to express it.
A heavy burden and such a lose for the rest of us!!

Girls on the run......

I just took a short trip to Florida...my daughter, Heather and her three cousins ran the
Disney World half marathon....they all did well!!!
Thumbs up...athletic and beautiful!!
