Dear Old Mom, Back in 1951 (before she was MY mom)

Since Dad worked for the phone company, he was always posing the family with telephones.

Memories of Japan

I arranged this medley of four Japanese folk songs for flute and clarinet to help me remember my time in Japan.  I took all the photos at the Misawa City Festival in 1988.  Misawa is near Aomori, on the eastern coast in the far northern part of Honshu.

Longhorn Feeding

The folks that manage the animals in the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge have carefully selected breeding stock amongst the longhorn cattle, American bison, and elk.  The bison, or buffalo, once numbered around 60,000,000.  They had dwindled to a little over 500 animals before conservation methods began to increase the herds once again.  Once the buffalo were mostly killed off, hunters turned to harvesting the elk.  All the natural elk in Oklahoma were killed off, and the elk in this preserve came from other areas.
