A Few Pictures from the '80's

In January of '83 we took the plunge and bought the house on 7th street.  Much was to be done, but we still found time to have fun.

Tree Planted in Claudia's Memory

Not long after Claudia's passing, discussion started among members of the Bull Run Neighborhood Committee and the Lewisburg Neighborhoods Corporation about planting a tree in our neighborhood in her memory.  All good things take time, and this morning a Borough crew planted this tree in front of our house, with a plaque.  Thanks to all that made this possible.

Note from Margie Wolson

My memories of Claudia flooded throughout Thanksgiving weekend.  Everything I touched from a towel to dry dishes, the "Julia Child" mixing fork I used to mash sweet potatoes, the wonderful address book she gave me years ago with helpful listings of friend's and relatives birthdays was a loving reminder of my dear friend.

The weekly trip to the Farmer's Market where I bought fresh spinach and some beautiful watercress, not knowing what I would do with it and without Claudia to ask what she would do had me in tears.

Every where I look, I am reminded of her thoughtfulness, her humor, her capacity to share the joy she felt in life.  My heart goes out to you two.
