Frederick's Story

I got back home two weeks ago after driving to Long Island after my brother's death. We poured his ashes into the Great South Bay where he went every morning lately too look out to sea. The marina there was where he kept his boat for years talking the family to Fire Island. I have brought some of his ashes back to Tucson to spread at Gates Pass where we spread the ashes of our father and grandfather overlooking Old Tucson Movie Studio.

I visited several rural cemeteries photographing grave markers and noting information on some very worn stones. I didn't have the time nor materials to do rubbings which is the best way to bring up very eroded letters and numbers. Over 16 days I spent 9 on the road, 4 going and coming from NY and one traveling between Long Island and Oswego traveling a total of 5500 miles. Except for the horrible time going through NYC twice, not being able to find my mother's cemetery in Patterson, NJ and a truck fire in Las Cruces, NM stopping traffic for a while as I was leading home the trip was largely uneventful.

We were cold and rainy on Monday but it did clear up and we were rewarded with two beautiful rainbows. There is only one pic of the first. I should have gotten on the roof for this one. The second came later farther to the
