Funny you say that Isabel because most people did call me by that diminutive form of my name. When my mother was angry, she'd call me Kenneth.
My memory used to be excellent, but now, not so much. Did you have an older sister or step sister? Did you know Merri Hollander (Brian's older sister)?
Exactly as I thought. I dated Susan briefly and Merri as well. Merri became a dear and close friend and she is now in a care home, suffering from Dementia.
The last time I saw Susan was in Chicago years ago, when I was on my way back to Utah from the Duck Pond Reunion and Susan was there for an Expo. She can tell you about it if she cares to.
Merri introduced me to Susan more than 2 decades ago.

I was her next door neighbor and did some work for her and accompanied her to MANY sites for photographing and I also printed black and whites of tons of her negatives from English garden tours. If you ever have questions let me know. The village was a wonderful assortment of interesting families back then.

I used to take Peggy Gerrys black and white photo documentation of many historic buildings in town. Very clear in my memory was going into the GW Manor during a full on gutting in perhaps the late 80s. We covered every nook and cranny of the building that I grew up going to for so many special occasions. It really was thrilling to get into the cellar, the attic, etc and document the construction of the building before all never covering and changes were made. Im sure the negatives are still in your files.
