Portrait of an American family.  

Photo1 was taken in the early 1950s in Lompoc, CA, where I was born.  My mother, father, and big brother Mark pose beside dad's plane.  He was a private pilot through much of his life.  Photo2 was taken in our living room in Hollywood, Florida, where my family moved in 1962 after dad bought what was then a little start-up business, Everbest.  I was 8 years old.  While our home was only a few miles from the beach, we spent several summers residing at a seaside motel, the Dolphin.  Photo3 was taken in our little two-bedroom apartment.  In 1966 we moved to south Hollywood Beach, into a condominium a block from the beach.  The sea was the center of gravity.  We stored a little aluminum boat on the beach, and rolled an outboard motor down from the house.  Photo4 shows my father out on the reef, where we spent hundreds of hours fishing, diving, collecting and observing.
