Dad shows me how to drive Ivy's tractor.
Stanwood, Washington 1959 |
Today is our nephew Aaron's first Fathers Day. We began at the Unitarian Church in Westport where family and friends welcomed our great niece Ellery (Queen of Babies) into the spiritual community. For the second time this year I crossed paths with Ken, an octogenarian former colleague of our late father. I remembered something my daughter told me about
consequential strangers and realized it was more than chance that brought Ken and me together today. The church is around the corner from a lovely mill pond where our Dad stayed at the company guest house before the rest of us made the move from Seattle to Connecticut in the 1950's. It has been a remarkable day with new and old memories thanks to Ken and Ellery.
