Happy Father's Day

My father and me, circa 1972.

Happy Mother's Day

My mom, circa 1964.

Dad's Car

This is my father with his car. This was taken before he met my mother. I believe he was working for Philip Morris at the time. I'm sure he struck a striking figure in his black suit, black sunglasses and this mammoth car. Shortly thereafter, he met my mom. He let her drive his beloved car. She crashed it. Not even the steel cars of yesteryear were safe from my mother's less than perfect driving skills.  Pop had many cars after this one, but this auto held a special place in his heart.

Leave a Light on in Heaven for Me

I'll miss you Mom and Dad. Until we meet again.

The View

This is a photo of my grandfather Martin and his pals taken on the Empire State Building. He lived in the Bronx at the time. This is one of my favorite family photos. My collection of souvenir shots was most likely influenced by this image.
