Haddow, tell 'em to play South Rampart!

Aunt Grace, 89, passed away last week.  Dad and Mom picked me up at the Newburgh airport and Dad drove us to Long Island for the visitation and funeral.  This is Aunt Grace & Uncle Indian in 1993.

My parents and these two loved to hear live jazz. AGrace would always tell my dad (using his middle name) to have the band play South Rampart Street Parade.

At this Roscoe gas station you will not only find octogenarians who pump gas, but t-shirts for sale that say "Stay Calm and Get Wasted."

Meanwhile, back at the farm we had a college send-off party for the boys and their parents.  Tom, Kyle, and Dan made this high table out of seed pallets. The dads loved it.
