    So here I am in my bedroom in mid afternoon...97 degrees outside and yet in this room it's so cool it could be a meat locker!

    Isn't supposed to be the other way around?

    At a large, common table listening to the conversations.

    Peering into the crossroads of relationships...discovering the journeys folks are traveling on.

    Struggles, joy, confusion, love, laug...

    Security video footage recorded the entire event.

    I distinctly remember Labor Day...the end of a long, delightful Summer of1975.
