Rochester calls the dump Ecopark. People will make art installations out of whatever wherever.

This week, my high school announced the passing of English teacher, Hal Donnelly. Living on campus, students spent a lot of time with the faculty and they all proved to be influential. WRA included this photo in the memorial posting. That expression and that hair, that tie and that tumbling pile of papers-I suspect I had caught sight of the candid photographer. In retrospect, I received a remarkable education, but the years were difficult (as for everyone in high school). Also, yes, we had color photography when I was in high school.

On Saturday morning, Strong Hospital unveiled the updated Gifts of Life Memorial Wall. The photo is from the ceremony beforehand when they showed the donors on the big screen. Please check the box on your license to be a donor and discuss with your family.
