A New Way to Say, “I love Paris!”
When their enormous jet landed in Paris, a colleague on the flight crew marked the occasion by photographing Rachael, who was on her first transatlantic flight as an Air Canada flight attendant, in a most unusual location.

Tranquility, August 2, 2002
Why do people love cottages? I think it is because of scenes like this. Evening comes at our lake in Québec, the water is still, and paddling about in boats is very good.

Pictures of the Grandchildren, August, 1999
Chris and Andrea took several wonderful photos during their summer vacation, including one of all three of my grandchildren eating corn on the cob together, and an exquisite one of Alexa sitting on my lap. Chris has a B&W scanner, and scanned these while we were visiting on vacation that summer.
Spring, 1998
I don't think you want to see how my desk used to look at St.Chad’s. I've been trying to keep it in a more orderly fashion since then, but with only moderate success!
