A man stands in front of a Southern Pacific diesel engine, a medium format camera around his neck. The text says IN THE OAKLAND CA TRAIN YARDS.
A three picture collage of a man with glasses making goofy faces while holding a small child. The third picture shows him lying in a striped hammock, holding a baby.
A man in a suit and tie stands in front of a wall of framed pictures of men. Next to him is a girl with a Dorothy Hamill haircut. He is raising a glass in toast to her, while smiling and looking at her. She smiles, teeth showing g, to the camera.
On this day in 1993, Harre W. Demoro, my Daddums, passed away at the age of 53. I am turning 60 this Fall, & I still miss him being there for me. It has been so weird to outlive my dad. So much left unsaid.
