I am basically retired officially, but I will continue to find something worthwhile to help myself and others. Here on fno I plan to offer photographs Of my own taking and framing, the subjects of being trees and various plants I planted between the ages of 5 and 13. I also have 2 oil paintings that I saved from an old saloon that was to be torn down in 1961. The person who had given me the paintings, my mother's father Frank Silva, paid the artist, Tim Oleary, $350 to paid 7 oil paintings in 1923 for the saloon, my 2 being one of the seven.
