Maren, Gabe, Tina and Dave in the Jemez Pueblo (self-portrait).
Tina and Maren have been best friends for 13 years, yet living
apart more than close. Visiting is very special.
Tina dedicated Gabe at our Celebration of Vows.
This is Risa Garelick,
sitting by the moving
truck as we got ready to
leave for Albuquerque, Stefan Mettler, Simon's
daddy, and Simon Asher Garelick Mettler,
2 yrs old!
Risa is holding her son
Simon on the right, and Gabriel in her lap on the left (he's the little
guy!)
Stefan, Maren and Risa all met in the Sociology
dept. at NAU. Maren was at Simon's birth, so
he is pretty special to her, and clearly special to Gabriel, they are buddies,
just like their moms. Simon is always asking about "uncle
Dave".
.
This is Tabatha, the daughter of Dav'es close
friend Susan. He knew
Tabatha when she was just a little girl,
and now she is all
grown up! Gabriel knows a warm heart
when he
feels it! It had been quite a
full day of celebrating!
This is Elii Chapman, also in Flagstaff,
She is another Sociology grad, and
visited Gabe and Maren often in the
hospital, and has really been a
great friend. Her husband is Dave,
daughter Sienna, and son Dylan.
