(I am not a very good blogger as it turns out, but I am going to try to reform!) I LOVED your father and mother! And I have several of your dad's paintings hanging in my house. One large one of a fisherman on a lake over my mantel, and one I absolutely adore of our cottages on the ocean in Rockport, MA. He drew and gave as a gift to my parents a picture of their house on the Potomac River (viewed from the river), with my Dad's sailboat in the foreground, that my parents used as the heading on their personal stationary. I made of their stationary for the cover of a book of my mother's poetry that I published for family and friends after my mom died in 2007. Check it out on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Footnotes-Along-Way-Helen-Hazard/dp/0981541003 Do you ever get to Florida? I live in Safety Harbor (across the bay from Tampa) and would love for you to come by for a visit and see the paintings I have by your father and to swap stories. Please let me know. Sincerely, Charrie Hi Sam,

He was a illustrator/cartoonist for the Changing Times from its inception was valued your dad as a great friend. I'm reliving 1962 this weekend and it's July 28th and Dad has just had a wonderful sail with Jack and friends on the "Lark" from Hallowing Pt. to the Md. Shore where they played slot machines, had highballs, ate smorgsboard and sang all the way home by moonlight arriving back at your parent's dock at 3 a.m. When I read about the 19 foot sloop you grew up with, I wondered if it were the same magic boat that carried them almost 50 years ago.
