Barbara LaShell, Corinne Miller, Anna and Paul Chamberlin, Me, Spencer, Lisa Haskell, and Joan Dalrymple at my place on January 13, 1992.  It sort of looks the same, except the guns were stolen a long time ago.

"Oakland" -- the Ptack estate in Bryantown, Maryland.  That's Ken on the tractor.  I visited during the first week of May.  It was hot and muggy.

  

Bert's Barbecue • Southern Maryland

Richard Bertain, my 11th Grade English teacher at Crawford High, also taught journalism.  He convinced me to join the class my senior year, then went off to Harvard for some graduate classes, leaving me with another teacher.  I credit Mr. Bertain with encouraging me to become a writer.  In May 1992 he was working in some capacity in the George H. W. Bush administration and I was doing research at the National Archives for my book on the USS Saratoga (CV-3).  I gave him a call and he took me to lunch.

Me and my Christmas present outside Lorraine's house on Buena Vista in Crown Point
