In 1996 I went to see the Rose Bowl, and I made a side trip to the Nixon library. With me was a dear friend who, some years later, died suddenly and far too soon. Seeing these pictures brought back dear and warm memories. So for very personal reasons, thank you.

From a simply aesthetic viewpoint, however, well done! Well done.

Thanks for your personal comments and am glad my pictures brought back good memories. It is so important that we enjoy every day and what it has to offer.

Thanks for the compliments on the pics as well.
