“There are no uninteresting people in the world.”

Yevgeny Yevtushenko

The photo was taken in 1955 or 1956. The adults are my Grandparents on my fathers side. Albert and Rebecca. The children from left to right are Simon, Andrew, James (the tallest one), Thomas (in glasses), Chris and John.

The first four are my brothers, the offspring of my parents Bill and Kathleen. Chris and John are the sons of Uncle Bob and Aunt Margaret. Bob is my Dad’s brother.

All of them are interesting if you look close enough.

I did a series of Boris Pasternak quotes a few years ago. This one has always stuck with me: “To live a life is not as simple as to cross a field.”
