Same trip in 2009. Shot a lot of pictures of Mark Twain, a lot of the Corning Museum of Glass, but the following paltry few of Corning's Market Street. Here they are:

Summer Tour: Birthday Bash
Earlier this summer I did a series of posts on our family tour of several Cedar Fair Parks. That family vacation was bounded by two other non-Cedar Fair events. The first was Liberty Con, which I have posted about. The second is my Mother's birthday bash. Mom is celebrating a significant birthday mile stone today, … Continue reading Summer Tour: Birthday Bash
A Blast of the Past #114: Mark Twain
If you grow up in the Southern Tier of New York, especially anywhere near Elmira, you you the importance of Elmira to the life of Samuel Clemens, a.k.a. Mark Twain. Back during Twains Sequicentennial in 1985, in fact, Hannibal, MO had a real imbroglio, while Elmira put on a celebration that far outshone the one … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #114: Mark Twain
A Blast of the Past #113: Uncle Whiting and Aunt Ruth
This visit was after the passing of father, but his other three siblings were still alive. His older brother, Whiting, still lived up the road from where I had grown up, and with the passing of his first wife, my Aunt Arlene, he had remarried, and I now had a new aunt, Aunt Ruth, that … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #113: Uncle Whiting and Aunt Ruth
A Blast of the Past #112: Corning Museum of Glass
This week we go back 8 years to the Corning Museum of Glass. I'm sure what you see in these pictures won't be there exactly the same way as it was then. Museums tend to rotate. But we enjoyed these and had fun.
A Blast of the Past #111: Keuka Lake
Part of the Summer 2009 trip was a visit to Keuka Lake, one of Finger Lake gems of upstate New York.

Here are some of the pictures from out time … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #111: Keuka Lake

A Blast of the Past #109: Houghton Reunion
Our next look into the past is our 20th reunion at Houghton College. It took place in our 21st year after graduation. We almost didn't have this reunion. Initially we were part of something called "cluster reunions" where adjacent years were grouped together in reunions. It was a good idea; a chance to meet friends … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #109: Houghton Reunion
A Blast of the Past #108: Graduation Party
For years Betsy and I attended a small group at the mega church -- and I mean a small group. It never seemed to get very big, but it rotated through a number of people that we ministered to (and who ministered to us) that were then able to move on to other stages of … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #108: Graduation Party
