Friend in real life, Larry Austin graciously hosted this Farewell to Dan Fagan party.
I’m in the VITAMIN D SHIRT (since I called into Dan’s show talking about D), and MOM is wearing my TRUTH MATTERS shirt. Larry bought us all pizza to compel people to come. How WONDERFUL!
Larry and I have stayed in touch since. I consider those of us in Anchorage to be extremely blessed to have a real-life peacemaker as an ambassador of God operating in his gift here.
Jesus said: “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God.”
Thank you, Larry!
I was having a lot more fun than it appears here. This was an awesome experience!
In the fall of 2012, I attended Mountain Light’s Wine Country photography workshop in northern California, taught by Elizabeth Carmel and Jerry Dodrill, with Olof Carmel sometimes helping — loved that!!!
Here Olof is sharing his wisdom in their upstairs studio. I’m on the right, checking the image I just took with my RX100 pocket camera.
Jerry posted this privately on his Facebook page on Dec. 2, 2012, saying:
We had a great visit to Elizabeth Carmel’s studio today for a demo on fine art printing.

Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year,
Buddy Pat Jeff
Our Christmas card – happy, creative days! Mom estimates I was about age-5.
I barely remember that my mouth was red because I had just been to the dentist where they used red dye to help spot cavities.
My dad’s real name was Philip, but many called him Buddy.

Harvey, my Irish Setter on my Triumph 750
He could ride for a few miles before tiring.
My father took this from in front of our house in Bloomington, Minnesota,
a few years before I moved out west — without Harvey 🙁
Late ’70s
Photo of a faded print
William Wallace by my side, while Kelly sought small game — 4 years ago.
As William got older, he didn’t run as much, while Kelly would never stop investigating in his later years.
The intimate landscape I was trying to capture with the Canon is of two, red Columbine flowers and this little falls. The gentle wind was moving the Columbine just enough to thwart our effort. The telephoto lens magnifies any movement.
Grateful, I cherish this moment, together!!! How can a price tag be put on such a faithful companion?
I miss my boy.

“That’s my boy,” I used to tell him. He was really something! We had so many adventures together.
Mom took this photo just before we drove to the vet.
Story continues below…
3/3/17 1:41pm – vet appointment was 2pm
Kelly’s hairdo was natural. I didn’t comb it that way.
Kelly loved to run, and collapsed the day before while running on the trail, just after passing me. After about a minute, he could stand, and then walk, but I knew this was probably the end, based upon a similar experience I had with my previous Gordon Setter, William Wallace. And while lying next to him later that night, the ugly sounds coming from his heart made it clear what to do.
[It’s amazing how hearts work extra hard to maintain enough oxygen, even after the valves are failing — a credit to our masterful Creator!]
After examining Kelly, the vet went in the back room to prepare the concoction, but Kelly’s heart completely gave out in front of Mom and me on its own.
So at least I never have to wonder that putting him to sleep was the right decision. But it was really hard to lose him at age-10.
I tell more of Kelly’s unique story here: Kelly – the boy nobody wanted.

The agony of my heart just before driving Kelly to the vet.
I was an only child, and have always been single. When I’ve been able to have dogs they’ve meant a lot to me!
Setters are my favorite, but Kelly was a special challenge — and reward!
I tell the story here:
3/3/17 1:33pm – vet appointment was 2pm

Darrel Knippel was our 8th-grade teacher and the principal. Very fine teacher and fantastic school! I learned a lot!

I just wrote this at ToBeFree and ONEcanhappen:
I’ve had to minimize time spent on my blogs lately, as I’ve been swamped and dumbfounded by massive, multiple (actual fact), mysterious technical difficulties, one of which still isn’t fully solved after 7 weeks. But I’m pressing through, and made a new print yesterday. Hopefully, soon it will be full speed ahead, being able to present my new work until January 31 in this beautiful coffee shop just blocks from where I live.
I’ve spent more time on the phone during these seven weeks, troubleshooting, than maybe in the last seven years — seriously.

Eleanor Preger took this of me at the Autumn in Wine Country workshop
with Elizabeth Carmel and Jerry Dodrill.
It rained about 10 inches during 3 days of our 4-day workshop,
making it one of the worst storms in 30 years.
But there were still some lulls.

Allyn shot and assembled these photos as a remembrance of our 4-day wine country workshop, taught by Elizabeth Carmel and Jerry Dodrill, 11/29-12/2.
It was a great time, and actually very productive despite the extreme weather.
Nice job, Allyn!

Jon sent me this pic during his journey down the Alcan with Zingo and his mom,
who snapped this photo.
Jon wrote:
“I love this pic.
Everybody is looking at the camera except Zingo looking at your food! Lol”
And he said about customs:
“So far so good! Canada Customs was very helpful and unpacked the truck and U Haul for us. Unfortunately, we still had thousands of miles left to go, so Mom and I had to repack everything! Lol We have made it to Fort St. John and the roads have been good. Still plan on going thru Banff.”
That’s me…

First Cornerman photo in new (old) building
to commemorate the first day wearing Delta uniforms.
Delta wouldn’t allow a union patch on Delta shirts,
so they only sent us pants
until a few days ago,
when the shirts arrived,
since we’re no longer union.
Most of us wore our NWA uniforms until this day,
of which most were gray.
My favorite black shirt was an earlier edition.
