CROP WALK Helps the Needy

April 30 is the date for an important annual interfaith event: the 29th annual South Bay CROP WALK.   This is an opportunity to spend a nice spring afternoon strolling through San Jose's lovely Rose Garden  neighborhood, see some beautiful homes and elaborate landscaping, get some healthful exercise, and help raise money for a worthy cause. Hopefully, our unusual rainy weather will surely be past by then.

Now I see in the photos a beautiful child posing in front of a quaint south Boston brownstone, alongside relatives or friends whose faces I do not recognize. I remember my Irish family members as so much older than the folks pictured there. They were all characters who loved to sip whiskey and sing songs of the old country, but you would never know that looking at their stern, stiff expressions in the photos. I wonder what they were doing and saying just before the photos were taken, and I wish their names were listed on the backs. It would help me distinguish between my endless relatives named Mary.
