My grandpa Jack was stationed in England as a B-17 mechanic during World War II.   I have always really liked this photo, but it has not aged well.  Jack is standing on the wing with his hands on his hips, third from the right.  There is a handwritten note on the back:

487 Bomb Group
836 Bomb Squad.
England 1945

I believe the photo was taken at Lavenham Army Air Force Station 137 in Suffolk, England.  The plane is a B-17G, number 44-8039.

The full-sized scan is 5157×2201.

Dan and Ilana got married in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Check out Eric’s gallery for lots more photos.

Mandy, Monica, Wuy and I hiked around the Marin Headlands on Memorial Day. Even when the weather is crappy and foggy it is amazing up there.

Chris, Jamie and Mia spent a couple of days with us. These photos are from the SF zoo.

Mandy and I went camping at Butano State Park.  There were redwoods, banana slugs, and campfires.

Mark and Moe came out to SF for a surprise visit for Monica’s birthday.

We spent a weekend in Steamboat with Mandy’s folks, Sam, Unchu and Margaret.

Mandy and I spent the weekend at the Ripplewood Resort down on the Big Sur River in Big Sur. I proposed to Mandy on Saturday on Pheiffer Beach.

Eric was in town briefly. We hung out at our place for a while and he told us stories of polar bears and sharks.
