Website

We continue to add new material to sidspies.flyingsealsystems.com, including some of Dad’s lesser-known writings. Please enjoy them, and add Comments if you like.

I’m happy to announce that this site begins life  today. Carol and I have barely begun to work our way through all of Dad’s journals, albums, and writings, but rather than wait until we’ve had time to finish that process, I think it’s important to make the site available now to help with the grieving process many of us are going through.

If you have memories, pictures, stories, or just thoughts you want to share about Sid, that’s what this site is for. In the Recollections section, you can write something quickly as a Comment. If you want to write something longer, just email it to me or use the Contact form, and I’ll take care of  turning it into a Post. Please take a few minutes to contribute your thoughts and memories. I know Dad won’t be able to read them, but they will enrich the lives of all of us who cared about him. [Read more…]
