May 25, 2002--
A half a century later and here I am. And after celebrating the milestone with many of my family on the Isle of Palms, at the resort of Wild Dunes, I have to admit that this was the best birthday ever. The weather was glorious though we drove the two hour trip in mostly rain. Even the 70 degree temperatures all week were wonderful. Sunny skies prevailed from the time we got there and after we left.
I will add many of the 200 plus pictures I took of the vacation to this site shortly. But first I want to post these photos presented to me by my parents. They scoured their old family albums and picked out a nice variety spanning my first fifty years. Few people besides my immediate family will have an interest but for histories sake I exhibit them here.
And the big event's pictures are here.
