june 1977

june of 1977, dad was in a really bad car wreck.

it made me sick to see them;

knowing my dad was in that car.

but he survived, thank God.

dad up in the chair!

at home with his nurse.

he was in this partial cast, but had been in an almost full

body cast... it was from mid-abdomen to thighs i think.

he had broken his back, ruptured his spleen, popped his lung,

and shoot, a whole bunch of other stuff. but it was pretty crazy.

walking in arcadia; on the road to recovery

(just think he was our age in this pic.... 26)

a baby.

this picture cracks me up... what was he doing?
