My first band, circa 1961. I was so proud of my
drum kit, purchased by Mom and Dad as a
birthday present.

Luma, our Brazilian neighbor in Connecticut.
 This photo is about three years old now and I fully expect her to be mortified when
she sees it up here! So, if it's gone ina week or two, blame it on a 13 year old!

We wish we could have brought these wonderful neighbors with us to VT, but Brazilians don't like
sub-zero temps, or snowfall measured in feet!


 

  
Daddy's girl.


Pedro Martins, Luma's brother. One of the
happiest kids I've ever known.



This is what Vagabond Van at Nectar's, Burlington looked like if you were tripping.
