Dad, April 1979

Photo by B. Jones. Martinsville, Indiana, April 1979.

The shot above was converted from slide to digital, showing my Dad on skis after a spring snowstorm in April 1979 near our home in Martinsville, Indiana. My sister is behind my Dad, and I'm in the far background running to catch up.

Statue of Amir Temur

Before COVID-19 cancelled travel plans, I likely would have been back in Tashkent, Uzbekistan this week for a training and some engagements. The photo above is from my last visit to Tashkent, taken 20 May 2015 while on a morning run near my hotel. I previously shared this back on 23 May 2015, but the photo above has been cropped & filtered for Instagram.

News Clipping from May 1949

Indianapolis News, 9 May 1949.

The news clipping above announcing the funeral services for James D. Havens, Allison's 2nd-great-grandfather, appeared in the Indianapolis News on 9 May 1949. I last looked into her Havens side of the family in 2017. While shelter-in-place continues, I thought I'd see what articles on her tree I may have missed.

Sunrise at Mother's Beach

Photo by Patrick Jones. Mother's Beach, Marina del Rey, CA. 8 Jan 2020.

This shot above was captured at the end of my sunrise run back in January, while I was visiting my LA office before continuing on to Singapore. In the distance, I can see the office building that was our original LA office on Admiralty Way.

It's another grey & dreary morning in Virginia, so I thought I'd look back at a beautiful sunrise, recalling a memory of a nice run to the Venice Beach Pier and in Marina del Rey.
