Over the last couple of months I have been collecting thoughts from Kevin's family and pictures that I have taken over the years and created a book for Ray and Monica, "75 Thoughts for 75 years", for Christmas.
This was a lot of fun reading about things people remember.
This was something that I had wanted to do for a couple of years. When we would go on motorcylce rides with Ray, he would tell us stories of his childhood. I wrote down outlines of the stories and had always intended to put them to writing to share. This was a bitter sweet project, with Ray suffering from liver failure, because of the illness, the book took on an aura of a eulogy. But I am glad I proceeded and bugged the family to death for stories and spent the time to put it all together. It turned out great.
Here are a few pictures of Ray and Monica over the years.
Life is Good!
