Today Deb, Tim. Jen . Diane and I went to say goodbye to our friends Joanne and Pat who are moving to Sedona. Joanne is a fantastic ophotographer.. we have several of her photos in our house. Today she was giving away or selling most of her remaining photos.
SHe’s done many photos in sams memory.. including this one in her collection
We ended up buying 4 of her framed photos.
I love talking to Joanne… she has such an interesting mind. She saved a book for me !
Busy day.. ended by making a quick stop at my friend Tom’s 45th IBM anniversary party !. Tom was my first mentor when I joined ibm in 1981 .. and he’s been a friend ever since He’s also mentored many folks. .. It was great seeing Tom and all the folks there to celebrate him !
I felt a bit like a boomerang … we’re back for a few days before heading off on our next trip. Today we took on cleaning out the last room in the house.. we call it the ‘toy room’.. its the room that has a TV.. though its only hooked up to the kids gaming consoles. Its also the repository for all the guitars and basses we have in the house.. Going hthrough them was sweet and sad… Sam played each of these instruments.. as did Max and Gabe. Each one has so many stories. .. The first Mark II ‘toy’ guitar (complete with uneaten gum and some bottle rockets 🙂
Sam’s Shecter
All the kids played this gibson
And Sam’s classical guitar with his albinez music still in it
I have pictures of the guit that sam and I made and the bass that max and I made.. but cant find the pictures.
