Old Boat

Here is our old boat, Angelita and 8 meter. It was made for the 1932 Olympics in Los Angeles and it was said that it won. We bought it from Owen Churchill in the early 1960's. We sold it a few years later. It was moved north to Sausalito where it rotted. In the early 1980's it was rebuilt for the 1984 Olympics as a show piece. I found an article about it. Then it dropped out of sight. I googled it a few days ago and found it was owned by a Samuel W Croll. I contacted him and he was good enough to send me a few pictures of it and updated me. It was rebuilt in 1997 and he has had a very successful sailing career with it as of late.

Visiting DC

Again we visited our son, Chuck in DC. His neighborhood, SE, is gentrifying as can be seen. He is two blocks from the Nationals (Baseball) stadium and one block from a Metro Stop (Navy Yard). Here are more pictures.

Theodore Roosevelt Island

We visited the Teddy Roosevelt Island which houses the monument to our 26th. President of the United States. My first impression was Lenin when I saw the statue. We wandered around the island. Here are a few shots.

The Frogs.

We visited the Frogs at the National Geographic Building in DC. It was quite a show. Here are a few more pictures.

Great Falls Va,

Great Falls Park At Great Falls, the Potomac River builds up speed and force as it falls over a series of steep, jagged rocks and flows through the narrow Mather Gorge. We enjoyed the 15 mile trip on a Sunday with Chuck and Andrea. Here are a few pictures from the park

30 Years ago.

Egad, 30 years age we moved into student housing, into this apartment on the bottom. The trees were just planted.

Personality Change

He is now walking and for Atticus, it is a leap into a new sense of person hood. He is mobile, less dependent and more assertive. Nice move.
