On Tuesday, May 10, it was getting to be time for another round of concerts, but before the concerts could start, I met with the HR people Judy Diamond and Allison Nelson and took their pictures.

Then, we headed off to the band concert. Kara and Audrey were there but because we were late, Jane and I had to stand. The first band assembled with Ben on the sidelines as Doris Shea watched. Next Ben's band (he's on the left) played and I captured a broad picture before aiming for this self portrait and then capturing the sights if not the sounds and a bad image of the program. The band played on from various angles and then Dr. Ginsburg thanked the director as well deserved flowers appeared and we checked out Ben and headed off but not before finding Bill Flemmer in the trees and taking a picture of Audrey taking a picture which could be a new collection. This might be what she captured.

On Friday, May 13, we gathered Ben and Suzanne and headed to the school where we saw the garden and then a novel approach to fund raising. Joel was in costume as Jane and John watched and we ran into first Harry Cummins and then Harry and Carol Alter all of which happened as Ben tied his bandana and adjusted it and then posed for the camera as we met Alan Straus on our way to the concert where the bus stop kids and Tony Klockenbrink were assembling as we took this self portrait and watched the show begin even as Ed Percarpio recorded it on film and Suzanne and Jane listened to Dr. Ginsburg as he introduced the show which led to even more photos

which were dark as is the nature of hip hop. Dr. Ginsburg said his thanks and dismissed us so we went to see Ben's artwork with him and then headed home and soon after Claire Mulvey appeared with her boy friend.

Monday May 16 was the c/3 dinner so just as we had done in 2004 we gathered the staff including the photographer on the right and assembled some food and nuts and set the table with interesting flower arrangements so make it look good as the flowers made the outside with its people having cocktails and its flowers feel like the inside with its flowers and tables and flowers and place settings and candles and flowers and tables set apart from the flowers as the outside people were ready to come through the door to the candles and tables adorned by flowers even as the candles

made Ben fly by and the flowers

highlighted an excellent dinner as the table prepared for the meal after which elegant dessert was served.
