I GOT MY KICKS ON ROUTE 66 – TUCUMCARI NEW MEXICO – 2008
This next trip through my fleeting and fading memory, takes place about 18 months after moving to Vancouver Island. Ange was living with us and attending University, or about to. Ron was now living in Newport Beach, California, a little…
SAN FRANSISCO ON THE BEACH AT SEAL POINT SPRING 1986
Another catchup video from San Fransisco. This time at the beach on Seal Point (or Sea Lion Point), just west of downtown San Fransisco. As usual it was just me and the girls and my trusty camera. They put up…
MARINEZ CALIFORNIA AFTER UTAH AND JUST BEFORE South Africa
We are now back in Martinez, California from Ogden, Utah. The project at Kennecott Copper Mine was completed and I was returned to the head office in San Fransisco. At about this time our main competitor in engineering and construction,…
ALMOST FINISHED CLEANING UP OLD VIDEOS AND GETTING READY FOR South Africa
A late flashback to 1986 while we were still in Concord, Ca. prior to leaving for Utah. Ange was still a baby. It was a Sunday morning in spring and we drove to the top of Mount Diablo outside of…

NOW LET’S SEE WHAT’S UP ON THE WAY TO UTAH
It was a long drive in from California to Ogden, Utah. I think what I remember most, is the four of us, happy as little clams, jammed into our one year old Ford Mustang. The girls entertained us pretty much…

Geezus we got halfway to Utah when I realized the we had forgotten our newest arrival behind in California. Oh did I get shit! How could you? Are you serious? And all sorts of nurturing words were rained down on…
LIGHTNING STRIKES & IT ALL CRASHES DOWN
