The kids...
Ten years old, growing grey in the face. Cancer got the best of Buddy on September 17, 2003. Oh how I miss playing ball with him.
Fred thinks the spa is just a platform for watching the birds and chipmunks, as well as general lounging. This shot was taken in the spring of 2002. Fred is about two and a half years old in this shot.
This captures Fred perfectly. Totally relaxed, but ever alert. Such an expressive face. Taken in July, 2000, when Fred was about one year old.
Getting these two guys to pose together was impossible. One, or the other, or both, would always be uncooperative. Buddy wants to go chase the ball. Fire just wants to go anywhere; he hated photo sessions.
