"In my walking I have seen you, standing steady, proudly ringing. Gather all your children, Steeple! Far and widely scattered are they: busy working, tired of learning, tired of being classroom-seated, tired of writing poems on paper, tired of doing sums and reading, tired of what you have to offer. Bring them back with hearty pealing! Make them eager for your learning. Make them into men and women. Make them wise and make them loving.
"All of us depend on YOU!"

This wonderful picture was taken by Gail Slaughter on "her" beach in northern California, and I couldn't resist the blues expressed... sky, sea, surf and beach.
These are memories.. collected from near and far.. of things and places and people that I love. It is a very personal place for me to recall these things, but also a place I send people who want to know me a little better. This is because we are all constructed from what we know.. what welove.. and where we have been. That is who we are..
