Hello from my grandparents, Gordon and Alma, on the far right of this photo with friends. 1941. They’d been married about a year and had recently arrived to their new home in Arkansas after graduating from Michigan.

The elder kid is contemplating starting a blog, in large part to discuss the Man from U.N.C.L.E. (original series). This is a natural move for a Religious Studies Ph.D. candidate focusing on late antiquity.
