Many years,

Thank you Neil, the secon shot is of my cousins son, he was ordained a deacon by +Metropolitian Nicholas in that shot, he is now a priest in the ACROD diocese, ya never know where my family will turn up, my tribe has someone all across the board! Thankfully, I am a Canon fool, you name it, I take that camera all over the world, just love to capture history on celuloid.
