With love and appreciation for all that they taught me and the ways they enriched my life, and sadness for those no longer with us.

Dad in Beijing in 1981.

Grandfather Clarence Blau (and his granddaughter) in 1992.

Grandfather Clen Robertson with brother Bruce Robertson at Bruce’s college graduation in 1984.

Step-father David North on the occasion of his 85th birthday earlier this year with my Mom doing one of their favorite things:  exploring an interesting new restaurant.

Father-in-law Denver Fox this past Easter, which we celebrated in the traditional fashion of being the least hip people at the Denver Biscuit Company.  (Thus the cigarette machine in the photo relates to DBC’s hipster status and not to any bad habits of my father-in-law.)

Extra bonus dad:  my brother Bruce with my niece.

I am so very blessed.
