Forgive a father's pride in his son. These are photos of my son Andrew. My wife and I have had a hard time dealing with him being away from home for so long. He's decided to remain in Seattle so we have no choice in accepting that. It ain't easy.

Randy, I know what you mean, about having your son living far for you, we too had a hard time when Tony got married and move to his wife's home state of Arizona, and then Bobby and his family moving to Az. too, we miss them all on Sunday morning's, as they would come for Connie's home cooked breakfast and visit for a while.

Yeah, the Sunday mornings! This was bigger in my house than a Sunday dinner. On Sundays my wife would make a big breakfast, tons of Chorizo con papas (Chorizo with potaoes) or regular home fries, bacon and ham, eggs, tortillas, and / or toast. lots of chilies and salsa. Sometimes homemade Chile Verde over everything. My son likes his food and was fun to enjoy eating with him.

Other times we would make a large pot of Menudo con patas. my son is the only one in the house besides myself that likes the patas. My father was the same way. My wife and daughters all love menudo but don't care for patas.

When he was small he was my constant companion. He's a fisherman too. Loves it. It's tough.

Speaking of breakfast. In our family, we all grew up having Thanksgiving left overs for breakfast. My wife and I both grew up with that. We would get the turkey, mashed potatoes, the stuffing (especially the stuffing), gravy anything and everything and fry it up and serve it with some fried eggs. You can't beat it. Now we don't have bother with it, the girls do it for us. This is the best part of Thanksgiving for my family. It's my sons favorite meal.

Oh Frank, what a great shot! Nothing better at camp side than freshly caught trout. That could be a cover for an outdoors cookbook. Frank, you are a pretty damed good photographer.

My oldest son has been in New Zealand since July. My youngest son got married in May. Its not easy being an empty nester. I love both my sons equally, of course, but the youngest went off to college and then graduate school, so we got used to him being gone. The oldest lived with us until he went to New Zealand, and he's 28.

These photos are from a few years back, (quite a few) from the east fork of the San Gabriel River. Local waters. These are few of the guys I grew up with.

Tom, we'll probably always miss them. I was walking into work one day. I was telling a coworker how my son wasn't coming home anymore to live, just kind of feeling sorry for myself and he said to me " Sounds to me like you raised a man." I hang onto that.

The top two photos are of my son Andrew on the USCGC Mellon. They took a few hours to fish the Alaskan waters. The bottom photo is Andrew sitting on several million dollors of cocaine after a big bust in South American waters.

I'm a big fan of black and white. Nice shot Frank. I still say you're a damned good photographer.
