Peter and William Fehr

Something that might be of interest to Loughrans/Applegates/Fehrs, if this is the right William and Peter. It might not be. This is a US Senate document published in 1910.

Family Resemblance



Here's a clip of Barry Sullivan, Dad's first cousin once removed. Do you see the family resemblance?

Giza


Matt, Chris, Anne and I walked over to the main office where we secured Giza's archaeological director as our personal tour guide. He let us into two mastabas to the east of Khufu's pyramid and explained many of the images and hieroglyphs. He was quite surprised when Anne started sounding out some of the hieroglyphs and asking remarkably informed questions. He spent most of the time speaking to her excitedly and at one point stopped to shake her hand when she correctly described the original statue found in the shrine next to the Sphinx.
These days they drastically limit the number of people who can enter the great pyramid. With Matt we got in with no problem, and we crawled our way through the low tunnels until we reached the close and dimly lit burial chamber. An incredible experience.







mmmm...Vla

On our way to Egypt we had a 10 hour layover in Amsterdam. Ian and I fought heroically against the fog of jet lag as we toured the impressive Van Gogh museum. After a few hours at the museum, we set out into the cold in search of Vla, a drinkable chocolate pudding recommended by my friend Sarra's boyfriend. Satisfied, we stumbled back to the airport.









White Men CAN Jump

We took these pictures a few months ago at Point Reyes, one of our favorite coastal areas.
