Chow line on the Rock (Dec. 1969).

Eileen Conway, Ed Willie (my brother) and Margaret Lareiro. I forgot the names of the grown-ups in the picture. I took this in the Apartment Building where the Alcatraz guards families lived.

Old Pic of the Rock


Here's the whole picture (though you can see it much better at http://goo.gl/erSWn). Photographed by Carleton E. Watkins. The "Octagon House" (middle bottom) still exists in the Marina District. Interesting in the online (high resolution) version are all the farms, and the (long built over) sand dunes, which is why there was so much damage in the part of town in the 1989 quake.

TVCO...at the Flash Mob Round Dance - Reno, NV


My grandson, TVCO Willie-Deere attending his first Flash Mob Round Dance in Reno, NV (Dec. 2012). The native fire has not died since the days of Alcatraz. Alcatraz was like a rock hitting the water....spreading down thru the generations.. Makes me proud.
