I'm burying my brother tomorrow [View all]

My parents were married Dec 1947. My siblings spanned from June 1950 to Feb 1963. I, "the baby" was born September '65.

This picture was taken the summer of 1967. The summer of love.

The jokeyman grabbing his brother's arm died Wednesday morning.

The little shit in the foreground is me @ 2 1/2 yrs old.

I keep focusing on my Mom, in the extreme right of the photo.

Just to make it better one last time.
