Obits

Filed under: Uncategorized — Towse @ 5:27 pm

Received from Auntie K, a link to the obit for Frederic Arthur (Fred) Clark.

She was told, “The son of the man was interviewed on the radio last night in Richmond. His father died in an auto accident on Father’s Day. He said his father was a family man with a sense of humor. He said the newspaper edited the obituary, but the family was glad it was published – it was written by Mr. Clark.”

Reminds me a bit of this obit notice for Dorothy Gilman Cully, written by her son. I read about the Cully obit in the comments tail of a Miss Snark post.

Thanks, K.

Walked along the Bay’s edge

Walked along the Bay’s edge last Wednesday, near Crissy Field.

Beautiful days we’ve been having.

The evening of the Fourth was clear as could be for the fireworks. Today, we enjoyed the sun with a walk into Chinatown to do some banking, bumping into friends on the way. Then over to the Ferry Building for the Saturday Farmers’ Market, then back up the Steps.

Planted New Guinea impatiens in the front forty after lunch. Soon I’ll be back to the piles of clips and magazines that need sorting.

Summer in the City.
