"Men are like
rivers, small beginnings, broad shoulders and big
mouths."

James Fenimore Cooper

A
notice of my birth brought to you by Elsie, the cow.

An early photo of me. It's April 30, 1951 and I'm four
months old. My aunt Mishie is holding me in the front yard
of our home in Little Falls, New Jersey.

Two pictures
from about the same time. From the candles on the cake, you
can see I'm five.
Meet
my parents and grandparents.
