Thank you so much for posting this on your blog. I know that presentation made a big impression on you – and Joe’s story still touches me profoundly, as do other stories that folks tell me.

I know you went outside and rang your Dad and told him you loved him right afterwards.

The image that I presented John was my favorite of my Mum and myself – when I was about five. I’m asking (well begging and whining) for more caps for my cowboy gun. I remember the whole thing like it was yesterday. As you say, I also gave John Mum’s camera that Dad had made the picture on.

Two weeks after a presentation of ‘Cycles & Echoes’ to a group here in Australia, the caps finally came through the mail with a note from an attendee.
