Another photo from Ginger’s archives, this one and one or two to follow, of her wedding to Brian. The ceremony was held in the Old Cambridge Baptist Church in Cambridge which has a history of slightly left of center activist politics. Such as providing refuge for Guatemalans running from Pinochet. Peaquod’s offices, the therapy group both Brian and Ginger were a part of, was located in the basement. I have no idea what title the pastor/minister/rabbi had. I do know, unlike my sister’s wedding, he was not from the Universalist Life Church.

Many of these old photos are out of focus and it makes me wonder what was wrong with the technology in those days. Maybe that is the difference, today’s cameras compensate for the photographer. But this image is fine as a blur, after all, it’s all about the feet.

Last night I went to sleep relieved that yesterday’s posting didn’t offend. As I later wrote to Susan, it can be dicey writing about someone else’s father. Had there been a problem, I would have blamed it on Dan.

A Nor’easter is predicted for tonight and tomorrow and if schools are closed, I’m going to take the day off and climb Mt. Monadnock with Matt and his friends. If I can convince Matt and his friends to go, and his friends’ parents of the wisdom of my fine idea.
