Family

I grew up in the midst of 50 or so first cousins dristributed between the families of my mother (Conlin) and father. Two of my mother's seven sisters became nuns the others married men named: Conlin women married men named Bennett, Crawford, Heintz, McCabe, and Walsh; my father's two sisters married men named Hall and Barry!

Lake Ontario sunsets, Aug. 15-17, 2025

Here’s the sunset page in the photo album from Maggie’s Scriba party, Aug. 15-17, 2025. The lake was calm and quiet all day Friday and Saturday, but Sunday it was not, but blustery and turbulent instead. Sunday’s sun broke through in the nick of time to treat us to another blush of sunset, reminiscent of legendairy Hawaiian Moon ice cream from Stone’s! (See people & party pictures here.)

Here is time-lapse look at the sunset, made by Matt with his new videography rig.
