Eva is a college sophomore majoring in elementary education. This summer she is a camp counselor. When I met her, she was helping an elderly woman get to her car in a crowded
parking lot. Eva is a sweet young woman.
John was Connecticut's economic development director. These days he is a university administrator.
Ellie is a Yankee. She was born here and has lived her entire life here. (So far.)
Ellie and her little dog visit Elizabeth Park three or four times a week.
Her favorite bench is in front of the gazebo.
Sam is assistant dean of the Yale art school. When I met him, he was taking apart an
old sculpture with a Sawzall.
Years ago, Helen and I served on the board of a nonprofit. That was before the executive
director was sent to prison, but that is another story. Helen's 18-year old
son is going off to college in the fall and she is struggling with what happens next.

Neat... no matter the age, they are all sort of starting on adventures. That's life!
ReplyDeleteHelen should not struggle with what happens next, other than college tuition. In about 2 years her son's personality will be even more engaging.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great group of people from several generations. All with interesting stories to tell.
ReplyDeleteAn interesting assortment of portraits...
ReplyDeleteI agree with Mersad, great portraits -- as always, and they do make the town come alive! I always feel as though I've been there and met these people personally. You are good at what you do and we get to enjoy the results! Have a great new week, Jack!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful post Jack! Not only love your portraits but you captions.
ReplyDeleteSome interesting back-stories there, Jack!
ReplyDeleteSplendid portraits, Jack!
ReplyDeleteNice portraits, Jack. We have a number of very fine people living here in Connecticut. Thanks for sharing their portraits and their stories.
ReplyDeleteExcellent portraits.
ReplyDeleteYou remind us that every picture has a story. I often think if we really knew people's stories we'd be more compassionate.
ReplyDeleteA fine set of portraits Jack.. you inspire me to be brave each time I see your portraits.
ReplyDeleteOoooh! I want some of those back stories! Interesting and accomplished people, all.
