Cast of Characters


   
This is me. To sum up: 39 y.o, professional white male, lives in Oxford, England, fulfilling a nearly life-long dream.
   
My brother and my sister-in-law, Dan and Ainsley, at the FurBall a few years ago. They were married over Memorial Day weekend 2002 in Berkeley Springs, WV.
   
My mom. She probably won't like this picture but it's the only one I could scrounge up at the moment, and besides, it shows off her ankles.

She's a big Chicago Cubs fan.

No, I don't know why either.

   
Here's my Dad, probably thinking about how much he'd like to be having a good pipe right about now. He doesn't look over 60, does he?

He was in the Air Force but has progressed far in his second career, with a local security and staffing company.

   
The Boivins--Beth, Leo, Cathie & Sara--are my surrogate family, and great friends. We've known them since they were our Military sponsors, in Turkey, in 1975.

They have been kind enough to include me and/or my Dad on all holiday occasions since our return to the States in '86.

   
   
My kids. I miss them dearly and love them to death. They settled in well at my mom's, but unfortunately Kittie Kate passed away this summer..

   
Gran. An amazing woman, at 97. I couldn't have transitioned to the UK as easily as I have without her help.

She's stone deaf, though.
