Well, folks, tomorrow marks the second anniversary of Sandy's passing. He's much in my thoughts & I've just reviewed the threads on Kaelan's passing in June, 2009, & Sandy's in July of that year. Time moves on. Caroline is doing well, although I'm sure she thinks of Sandy (& Kaelan) every day. Whenever I go to the house, I still miss seeing Sandy reading at the table, with a cup of coffee, or sitting at the computer. I miss discussing the concerts I've attended & the performers I've discovered. He was such a special friend!

Folk Legacy is celebrating its 50th year of existence. Its recordings are available, now, on Amazon & sales are up. Duane D. is a regular Folk Legacy employee, not just festival help. I wish Sandy was here to see it!

This weekend, Duane & I visited the Housatonic River site where Kaelan was lost & we spent that time remembering him & his beloved grandfather. They are both a terrible loss to the world, in one sense. At the same time, each was a special blessing & gift. I am so glad to have known them & to be able to remember tham at this time!

best,

Barbara
