Tiger Woods should look so good

Not one of them is flirting - they're all strategizing to be medalist and win the fair lady's heart

The Fabulous Golfer Ganzer Boys of Summer

The Ganzer Brothers are as competitive a trio as ever walked the linx

Mom and Gay couch talking.



Dad and Scott "Archie's chair sitting."






Scott, left to his own devices (and desires)
has always been able to amuse himself.

Mom and Gay just showin' off how HOT they look.




Grandma Verna - from whense we all pretty much came.

Mike Magliola with baby Angeline.

Mark Magliola: Portrait of the artiste as a young man.
 Looking East from the memorial benches just behind the community garden plot.
 moving Eastward towards a "picture frame"
In contrast - waster in your home year up to the top of the drain pipe.
 Great view of the marsh lands next to Beese Park.
 Another perfect picture frame.
 More of the same.
 Getting closer to the golden rod.
 Little mossy hide away.
 Same hideaway, different angle.

That sky is pure blue.












 The marsh trail is about to open up with all its options
 Golden rod to the east
 Lovely, lovely, golds, browns, breens, blue sky.

Entrance to Grand Geneva Hotel in October

These flowers are so lovely - what beautiful colors on a bright sunny fall day.




















The yellows, oranges juxtaposed with the greens and lightly clouded blue sky are a dramatic exclamation point to a lovely setting on a beautiful day

We (Americans) are safe from attack by sea - our Navy just has too many good sailors serving

We Americans have NOTHING to fear. Our Navy defends our shores and we have the finest sailors in the world. Both these fine young men were from Louisianna. Both had gone to college for one year, then decided they weren't ready and enlisted in the Navy. Both were athletes, both came from two-parent houses, and both parents were teachers. I sleep very soundly at night.

Saying good by to our brave sailors. Even Scott looks like he is no longer quite so afraid of Black People.

Stephanie Dille - the most loved child I have evern known

Only Mark & Ralph Ganzer are absent from this Gent's shot

Offering prayers of Thanks to God - except for the photographer, who shall remain annonymous. Back of Nathan Popa's head, Adam side shot, Graham Give from the side, Manny Givot totally blocked, Ralph Gilbert handsome as ever barely visible, Anne & Ralph & Mark, looking much less self conscious

Back of Scott David Offutt's head, Nathan Popa who has perfected boredom to an art form, Adam with coffee in hand, Graham in thought, Manny about to suck coffee through his nose, and FINALLY, a great picture of that daper, debonair, internationally known and reknown attorney, Annanpolis Grad, Foreign Service worker and community leader, the one, the only, Ralph Gilbert

A Birthdy Party for Adam @ the Gilbert's

I know it's supposed to be about Adam, but I sure look constipated here. Brother-in-law Michael Offutt talking to sister Gay Linda Ganzer Offutt and Adam's mom Theresa Marie Gilbert



I look pretty damn self-conscious here too. Fortunately, Constance Lucille Gilbert looks angelic, Shirley Anne Hocket Ganzer looks lovely, Ralph Bertram Herbert Ganzer looks interested and Manny Givot looks engaged.


Graham Givot sucking on the smoke from the blown out candles, Adam, pipes full of hot air looks ready to open presents, and Manny Givot is DEE-LIGHT-TED

Mark with the lighthouse looking on

Mark looking quite the Irish in front of a coastal light house. Shades make the man. Man! Boy, you must be KIDDING me. BAaaaaa










Lovely creek in October, gentle day, branch and leaves floating gently along.














Does anybody have any ZAP comic books? Those would be worth a fortune these days, I do believe; I do declare.

Mark looking like he CREATED the trees - Fred & Bus Driver

Another nonchalant photo - used to do nonchalance as if I was unto the manor born.

Then a cutie of me and Suzanne - lady in red, is dancing with me, cheek to cheek

Hotel Fountainblue - absolutely gorgeous - in Quebec Province, Quebec City, the old (French) Quarter.

Suzanne Dunn, my benefactor who invited me to accompany her on this adventure.
We had a wonderful time.

Mark in 1998 at Restuarant in Quebec Province

Mark, looking like a lean, mean, tan, fighting machine.
Having weight-load walked of 50 pounds to get down to 180
over the course of about seven years.

This was a Fall Foilage Duplicate Bridge Bus Tour where
we stayed at four- and five-star hotels, dined like royalty,
sight-saw, and met some of the nicest bridge players there
are.

At the Gilbert's

Adam opening a Christmas present.









Adam's birthday party. From left to right:

Reflected in the mirror,
your intrepid blogger and the ever handsome Ralph Gilber.
