Well, as it seems to be taking a little while to get things warmed up and rolling on this blog, here's another post of a picture of SHS from your correspondent in Paris... remember going up and down these stairs several times a day ???

The photos below are my wife Anne and I coming back from a day trip to the Saints Islands, off the south coast of Guadeloupe, a remnant of the French Empire and a small corner of paradise, a Caribbean Hawaii, and our daughters Emilie & Lucie, now 15 and 11... no grandkids yet... well, some of are a little slower than others, Phil !

So, like Phil said below, don't be shy, it's pretty easy to post pictures and scribble a few words here, and I suspect more than a few of us are just a little curious to learn what you all are up to these days, after all this water under the proverbial bridge.

As for family news, my Dad has still not retired, at 79 he is Professor Emeritus of Anatomy at Temple University Med School, my Mom is still doing volunteer library work, now at the Quadrangle in Haverford, where they're living, having sold the house in Swarthmore after 40 years there. My brother Walter is in Houston TX (survived Ike), and Andrew is in Manchester, New Hampshire.
