One of our good traditions is to join our friends the photographer George Forss and the artist Donna Wynbrandt at the annual Cambridge, N.Y. Memorial Day Parade. George was out with one of his jerry-mandered lenses, Maria brought Fate along. She did well, although she was rattled by the truck horns and drums, things she has never heard before. She liked all of the attention. It was good to see George and Donna, warriors for creativity every single day. George never stops looking for great photos, Donna continues to produce beautiful art for the shows she is participating in.

The parade is short and very local. Lots of fire companies, some horses and cows, veterans and boy scouts. it is nice to be here, Fate already has a large following I see. She is heading for rock star fame, I think. We brought Red last year, but he did not like the noise. He waited in the car.
