When I saw her, the 1st thing I thought of was a fairy. The dress, the hair, the eyes. The Chanel bag made her a very fashionable fairy. A simple but fun photo. What you don’t see here is the gang of photographers behind me calling out to get her attention for a photo. So […]

After 41 years with the Social Security Administration, Helen is calling it quits. When I read 41 years, I just said WOW. Thinking about […]
