Michael and Keith Farris (in his wood work shop) putting the saw to the pine block of wood to form the basic structure of Michael's third Pinewood Derby Car. Keith a long time woodworker had all the "toys" needed to make quick work of the project. Later dad would help him paint and detail the car (using some secrets to tune it up for the big race next month).

Memories of us visiting the Leakes and having stayed in the vacation rentals and being the first to stay in the "new" cottage as a married couple. We did wed in their back yard under a few giant Redwoods.
The first room we stayed. Under the main house (Alfa Romeo 4-cylinder engine coffee table)
Deck over garage leading to the new 'cottage'
kitchen in the main house where Al, Myr, Sharon and I had such good times and conversations.
The garage and cottage above where Al did all his wonderful work on restoring Classic Alfa Romeo's.
Al's PMA garage...
*** Note: (added 12/20/2008) 2 or 3 days after new owners take possession of the property there is an electrical fire (presumed water heater) which burns most of the Victorian down.
