"Tens" Top Ten List of Favorite Pictures (But Really Have 27 and that is just a Fraction of All)

That's our Mom on the far end of the porch in this circa 1960 photograph on Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She did a great job of raising four of us kids--me nonchantly leaning back in my t-shirt and blue jeans today retired from the National Park Service and currently a self-proclaimed lover/master of the art of book selling/clerking/shelving/displaying, my sister who works for a psychiatrist as an office supervisor, the larger baby brother, a computer expert working for Aligent, a subdiary of Hewlett Packard, and the baby who is is a doctor of opthamology. Our Mom passed away on January 17, 2005, and is buried with our Dad at Fort Douglas Military Cemetery.(see below)
