What Dad Does This With His Daughter?


This is another photograph I found the other day.  It is a dark and faded and stained print.  I don't have any recollection of this at all!  What's interesting is that the water is not all that calm, and yet I took Liz for a ride in our dinghy, which I still have stored under the front porch.  At least Liz is wearing a life jacket.  How come her father is not?  Liz does look happy.  When we had our Lightning sailboat I had a mooring down at the end of our street, and we used this dinghy to row out to it to go sailing.  Maybe Kathy was still on the Lightning and that's when she took this photograph.  A treasure in our family photo collection that I had forgotten about!

Answer: A Dad who loves adventures with his family. Great photo! We grew up going to the beach and learned to swim so never thought about wearing life jackets until we got old. :-) Joan

I love this photo of you and Liz. I bet that the weather didn’t start out like this. I can’t imagine that you would go for a ride or sail your Lightning in bad weather. Plus, after we learned to swim we probably didn’t wear life jackets any more. Normal! Betsey
