Dad's last lecture



... Dad had a bright but short academic "career" ... a highlight was twice being a featured speaker at the Annual Cognitive Neuroscience Society meeting. The first was soon after Nate's birth in 2004 and the 2nd lecture was in March of 2009.

Cutting work & school to sneak away to the beach


Nate, for the first time, you were thrilled to splash in the ocean waves! Ben, you still preferred to play in the sand and collect rocks and shells. We had a great visit to Sandy Hook beach.
