Memories of John - Volume 3

John being the cyber geek he was, this blog has long been considered a fitting memorial for JW -- providing for all, not just family, the opportunity to keep memories of John alive in cyberspace. Alas, the cyber world is still ephemeral, it's 1's and 0's subject to being zapped or becoming unreadable at any given time. (Does anyone still have any 5 1/4-inch floppy disks on hand)?

In that regard, good old-fashion paper and ink can still be depended upon to last through the ages. In that regard, this Easter, in memory of JW, his Mom, brother and sister were each given a copy of the third volume of this blog in book form.

The covers of the prior two volumes can be seen here.

Update: When assisting with the distribution of these gifts, Ariana readily recognized that the photo on the book's cover was her Uncle Johnny and that he was a very special individual.  Such is the wisdom of a two-year-old, going on three.

Spring Snow

Photo from today, March 25th, at Queen of Peace Cemetery in Helen, MD.  (Note snow covered bottle of Guinness left by person(s) unknown).  

It was another Spring snow storm on April 7, 2007 when 4 inches of snow fell in St. Mary's County, enough to preclude a helicopter ambulance from transporting JW to the hospital in Washington, DC, thus necessitating a painstakingly slow trip by road.  

Sibling Affection Through the Generations

First two photos above, Ariana and Bentley - next photo, their Uncle Johnny holding their Daddy - last photo, their Uncle Johnny holding their AJ, with their Daddy nearby. Note the bandage on their Daddy's knee - all boy all the time!

Happy St. Paddy's Day to Ye, JW

Somewhat a tradition for this blog, the posting of a video depicting JW, Mike & Jes on St. Patrick's Day, 2005 in Dublin.
