I like that music daze shot. And thank you for sharing the PhD graduation photo. That's an encouragement to someone who is getting anxious thinking it's sooo late for her to do her PhD. Many happy returns! I appreciate what I'm learning from your blog.

Thanks. I really enjoyed the pictorial. I think my favorite part was the hippy daddy pics. ;)

I love the pictures. I think of all the people visiting your blog I have know you the longest. I remember the La Canada Jr. High picture and it sure brought back memories of he Friday night Youth House dances. How did we survive all these years??? I know with all my misadventures I should never have made it past 30. But here I am with you at 70. Let's try for 80. Happy Birthday again, Bill-aka-Will. I love you forever.
