In 1999 this picture of my kids John and Christy was taken at their home. Later that year, my sister Marianne, who had majored in art in college, painted a portrait from it, which now hangs proudly in my home.

An absolutely great photo of John and Christy, Allen. And boy, howdy. These two are Bortons from the git-go. Are you sure Michelle had anything to do with the final products??
Would love to see the painting that Marianne did.
And yet another connection. JB's birthday is the 14th and so it is with my younger son, Chris
My life has undergone a quantum leap of changes in the past three decades. I used to be a choral music professor at a small college in southern Michigan, but in 1993 incurred a closed-head Traumatic Brain Injury in a severe automobile accident that left me comatose for two months, hospitalized for six, and ultimately unable to communicate vocally, either by speech or song. Though I have regained a very modest amount of these abilities, it's not much. My most rewarding roles are those of husband, father, and grandfather. Also, though I was formerly an accomplished pianist, not playing from 1993-2016 robbed me of nearly all those abilities -- I am currently engaged in daily practice to see what I can regain.
