Nice
days to remember
July

100
years of Camp Fire
The Washington D.C. Area Council of Camp
Fire USA
held a traditional council fire to celebrate 100
years of Camp Fire.
I was there with my two favorite Camp Fire kids,
my son and my daughter.
My Camp Fire boy made a run for Congress,
encouraging economic discussions.
My Camp Fire girl is half-way through grad school
for social work.

Camp Fire gown.

Me with "The Fantasy Supreme
Court"
These are the men who, over a span of
more than 30 years,
built the foundation that restored
the Second Amendment as an individual right.
March 2, 2010,
Washington, D.C.
In front of the U.S. Supreme Court
building,
after hearing oral arguments in McDonald
v. City of Chicago.
All except the lawyer who got the case to the
Supreme Court (2nd from right)
had stood in the lawyers' line since before 5
a.m.
Here's my amicus brief arguing
for incorporation.

Floating on the St.
Joseph River
Fifty-two years earlier, we had sat
side-by-side
in a first-grade class at North Side Elementary
School.
He could draw horses, and his mom baked wonderful
cookies!
Now he has a doctorate and is an educational
administrator.
We were together for a "play day" 40 years
after high school.

Midnight Mass at de Chantal,

My
"little fish."
She swam forth from my body
and grew up before I realized.

Between
two Mr. Butterworths:

Court Justice Clarence Thomas
June
1999, Bethesda
It was
my "skinny year."
I was able to wear my 15-year-old
daughter's jeans!
But the wrinkles on my face had me looking like a
Shar Pei.

Internet magic: Photo arrived in 2007.
It was a going-away party for a Chilean
boy;
he had been in Mishawaka as an exchange student.
I was 16 and had just completed my junior-year of
high school.
The barefoot boy behind me became an attorney.
Two of the other three boys in the picture became
engineers.
The exchange student now has two Ph.D.s and is an
engineer in Norway.
He was my date for the Junior Prom.
