The days of preparation are coming to the end. My studio is filled with over 40 images of people that cannot be forgotten. I am blessed to have come this far with so much help from the great staff at Fountain View. When you come out Thursday night at 7:30 - 9:00 Pm make sure you say thanks to them for doing all the work.

Why?Why would I do this?Why would I put my heart on the line?You might think I am crazy.You might think I don't care.You might think I shouldn't do this.But I did......I have been asked why lately by a lot of people.

Just because my hair is white & I more and more wrinkles to come and stay, my hearing has to have aids, my steps aren’t as long & fast as they used to be & I’ve forgotten who memory was & maps are more welcome. I still have kind & loving families and friends who accept me just as I am even if they think I’m a little different

"Just because I can't Remember doesn't mean I want to be forgotten"Today I finished up my project at Fountain View. This one was the hardest. The memory care unit is where the patients with severe dementia and Alzheimer's reside. The saddest part for me was the three residents we couldn't photograph.I warn you.. You might need Kleenex.

This event has really brought to light a reality about "The most beautiful generation".I was contacted by Alan Teelander today about a similar project that is blessing the Greater Lowell community. It is called Faded Footsteps, and can be found at www.fadedfootsteps.com. Alan and a group of volunteers are Honoring and Remembering our Veterans, our Families and our friends through an incredible
