How do you write about your father? Perhaps I can learn by how my father appreciated his father.

I've been accumulating materials to share here for a number of years. These include photographs, Dad's CV, some of his writings, sayings, and musings. At the moment what I have at hand is a photograph. Not of Dad, but, something he made. Sometime in the late '60s or early '70s Dad took a couple of his father's paintbrushes and had them cast in resin. These were kept on the mantle above the fireplace at 3909. I have one in our living room and I took the other to Jay in the summer of 1999. I made a point of photographing them before making the delivery.

Dad often said that these were the brushes that put him through college.
