Hi everyone,
It seems to me that we do not always acknowledge the largest repository of wisdom in our world. Here is an opportunity to do so! I'm just off to find a few photos to get the forum going! Back soon and happy woophing! - Vic.

This is my Aunt Kath, avery vibrant woman although she looks a little pensive here. Activist from way back! Must go now but will return, hopefully to a few more shots! Next I'll find some shots I am thinking of from other woophy members.

Hi Vixstix,
Nice topic!
This is my grandfather. He's 95 and always full of strength and joy!

These people realy have to be respected.
They did the most difficult job in the world. Raising me.
They almost made it.

Trudy, thanks for this image. Your parents look like they are at a family banquet and your father is ready to start eating! From your images, I'd say they've done a fine job bringing up a joyful and aware citizen of the world!

Ok, guys, back on the straight and narrow!
3 pics of my now departed dear Uncle Perce to show how that window and a little camera shake can produce some unexpected although not altogether unsuccessful results! What do you think?

 Here is one that is a little different. The hand of an 80 year old nun who brings light to all those around her. Twice a day every day she lights the candles for prayer. A kind and gentle woman who has given her time and help to me when I needed it.
