He has arrived, about two weeks early!  Samson Carter Wauchope, second grandson from Cheryl and Scott,  boren July 28, 6lbs, 14 ozs, born at 11;22 PM

Very healthy, very beautiful.  The pictures say it all.

Up at 5 AM to travel down to Wellfleet Sanctuary, and the following are the result. A Green Heron, Snowy Egret, a pair of young Orchard Orioles, and various and sundry peeps.

I just descovered this photo, which had been lost for a lot of years.  It shows me on stage at Symphony Hall, probably in the late 60's or early 70's, when Michal Tilson Thomas was guest conducting.  The program opened with a  series of Gabrielli for double brass choir, and in the picture you see Roger Voisin, Gerald Geoghan, Ron Barron and myself as choir 2, and  in the other choir, not pictured, was Armando Ghitalla, Andre Come, Bill Gibson, and Gordan Hallberg.  Kind of neet to be the only outside player hired by the BSO that weekend.

I am also uploading a few of my lilies for this summer, and one butterfly shot.
