Terry, Michael and Katherine's cousin

In about 1982, in Mom and Dad's gorgeous apartment in DC. We all met there for Thanksgiving. The highlights, as I remember them... Mike provided lobster, I was skinny, Jerry slept under the dining room table, Jake, Edward and Jessica went through Dad's medals on the bedroom floor, Mom had my French cradle set up, Katie was a wide-eyed one year old, we got a family portrait taken while Dad recited Gunga Din from memory, I made blueberry muffins that didn't rise, Branwen made delicious pecan pie, Marilyn and I went for a run along a wooded parkway, we sang at the piano. The coquettish red-hooded woman in the painting is my great-grandmother. The painting was made for a Christmas card when she was a girl.
