Rob at 21 months

|
By the age of two, I had a three pack a day
habit. But as I matured, I came to understand the
health dangers of smoking, and on my third birthday, I
quit cold turkey.

sessions in honor of C. Warren Hollister, dissertation
advisor to many of us. (And no, I'm not really that
tall; I was standing on my toes to get some altitude, a
technique the other Rob should have considered...)

Rick Helmerichs (brother) & family

Rick (little brother), his wife Jeannine, and their
sons Rich and Matt. Rick trades bonds for Stifel. I once
asked him how the bond market works; he tried to
explain, but I quickly developed a headache. For
revenge, I then started to explain medieval land tenure
to him. We no longer talk about such things, and our
relationship is much the better for it.

My great-great-grandfather served in the Civil War, and
fifty years later typed up some reminiscences. A
transcript can be found here.

Barry! Barry!
|
|
In 1964, Barry Goldwater was like a god to me.
What can I say; I was terrified. I knew that those
dang Commies were going to flood over the Rio Grande any
second now, and the only way to stop them was to nuke
'em straight to heck. I worked tirelessly for my
man Barry. I knocked on doors. I passed out
flyers. I bombed Johnson Headquarters. But
it was all in vain---the Commie conspiracy worked, and
the forces of good were defeated.
Of course, I was young and naïve then.
Eventually, I grew out of it.
