Alpha Romeo

Jeanine’s office has been the repository for all the boxes containing books we kept during our recent moves. She has recently started sorting them and selecting ones to keep and donate. I have been enlisted to move the keepers into the basement until such time that I have completed building the bookshelves for her office. Some of the boxes contain old photos, including the one above featuring me and my Alpha Romeo Spider, perhaps my favorite cars of all time. This car accompanied me on my journeys, first from Schenectady, NY, to Indianapolis, IN, and then on to Stanford, CA. It was with me during some of the most transformative times of my young life and is a reminder of some of my fondest memories. Hard to imagine it has been 45 years since this photo was taken. It seems like only yesterday if I look past the full head of hair and fit body.
