05.10.05 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 IMG_0953 Judy Diamond IMG_0954 and Allison Nelson and took their pictures.

Then, we headed off to the band concert. Kara and Audrey IMG_0955 were there but because we were late, Jane IMG_0956 and I had to stand. The first band IMG_0957 assembled with Ben IMG_0958 on the sidelines as Doris Shea IMG_0959 watched. Next Ben's band IMG_0960 (he's on the left) played and I captured a broad picture IMG_0961 before aiming for this self portrait IMG_0962 and then capturing the sights IMG_0963 if not the sounds and a bad image IMG_0964 of the program. The band played on IMG_0965 IMG_0966 IMG_0967 from various angles and then Dr. Ginsburg IMG_0968 thanked the director IMG_0969 IMG_0970 IMG_0971 as well deserved flowers appeared and we checked out Ben IMG_0972 and headed off IMG_0973 but not before finding Bill Flemmer IMG_0974 in the trees and taking a picture of Audrey IMG_0975 taking a picture which could be a new collection. This IMG_0976 might be what she captured.

05.13.05 On Friday, May 13, we gathered Ben IMG_0977 and Suzanne IMG_0978 and headed to the school where we saw the garden IMG_0979 and then a novel approach IMG_0980 to fund raising. Joel IMG_0981 was in costume as Jane and John IMG_0982 watched and we ran into first Harry Cummins IMG_0983 and then Harry and Carol Alter IMG_0984 all of which happened as Ben IMG_0985 tied his bandana and IMG_0986 adjusted it and then IMG_0987 posed for the camera IMG_0988 as we met Alan Straus on our way to the concert where the bus stop kids IMG_0989 and Tony Klockenbrink IMG_0990 were assembling as we took this self portrait IMG_0991 and watched the show begin IMG_0992 IMG_0993 IMG_0994 IMG_0995 even as Ed Percarpio IMG_0996 recorded it on film and Suzanne IMG_0997 and Jane IMG_0998 listened to Dr. Ginsburg IMG_0999 as he introduced the show which led to even more photos IMG_1000 IMG_1001 IMG_1002 IMG_1003 IMG_1004 IMG_1005 IMG_1006 IMG_1007 IMG_1008 IMG_1009 which were dark as is the nature of hip hop. Dr. Ginsburg IMG_1010 IMG_1011 said his thanks and dismissed us IMG_1012 so we went to see Ben's artwork with him IMG_1013 IMG_1014 and then headed home and soon after Claire Mulvey IMG_1015 appeared with her boy friend.

05.16.05 Monday May 16 was the c/3 dinner so just as we had done in 2004 we gathered the staff IMG_1016 including the photographer on the right and assembled some food IMG_1017 and nuts IMG_1018 and set the table IMG_1019 with interesting flower arrangements IMG_1020 IMG_1021 so make it look good IMG_1022 as the flowers IMG_1023 IMG_1024 IMG_1025 made the outside IMG_1026 with its people having cocktails IMG_1027 and its flowers IMG_1028 feel like the inside with its flowers IMG_1029 and tables IMG_1030 and flowers IMG_1031 and place settings IMG_1032 and candles IMG_1033 and flowers IMG_1034 and tables IMG_1035 IMG_1036 set apart from the flowers IMG_1037 as the outside people were ready to come through the door IMG_1038 to the candles IMG_1039 and tables IMG_1040 adorned by flowers IMG_1041 IMG_1042 IMG_1043 IMG_1044 even as the candles IMG_1045 IMG_1046 IMG_1047 IMG_1048 IMG_1049 made Ben fly by and the flowers IMG_1050 IMG_1051 IMG_1052 IMG_1053 IMG_1054 IMG_1055 highlighted an excellent dinner as the table IMG_1056 prepared for the meal after which elegant dessert IMG_1057 IMG_1058 was served.
