Hugo was with us from 1987 to 1993 in our Chrisland Cove and Davidge houses. In July, 1987, we welcomed a new kitten, Hugo, to the family. Walt was not at all sure about the new arrival. Soon enough, Hugo became a big favorite. Well, first he became a favorite, then later he became big. …
Wasting no time after Barb completed her Bar Exam in July, we bought a townhouse of our own and moved in August, 1986. The townhouse was at 7593 Chrisland Cove in Falls Church, VA, in a development called The Yacht Club. It was a cluster of townhomes surrounding a small man-made pond dubbed Lake Sequoia …
Barb officially started law school at George Washington University in fall 1983. This album extends through graduation and beyond. We were able to take a short Spring Break in May of 1985. We “won” a 3-day preview of time share resort in the Bahamas and combined it with a visit to my folks in Singer …
Bert was with us from 1982 to 1986 in Fairfax and Fairlington. Bert came to us as a kitten in late 1982 when we lived in the townhouse in Fairfax. He got off to a good start as a kitten, though our various kitten tortures may have had a long-term effect. Pumpkin time, Halloween 1982. …
Photos from several untitled albums, the next in the series. Bill did one that covered 1978-1983; Barb did two over the same period.

Louise doted on Bourbie, putting weights on her ears as a puppy so they would bend just so, and squirting her with perfume most days. Bourbie was a great …
In a surprise move, my sophomore year (1978) roomate, Vas, decided that he also wanted a cat, so he acquired a very small kitten that Barb and I named L.C., short for Little Cat. Zig and L.C. were buddies for the rest of that semester until I moved to a new place in August. We’re …
In February of 1978, we decided to take another shot with a cat, after the sad and premature demise of Ralph. Ziggy was an orange tabby with a very patient disposition who put up with my long learning curve. He was already four months old when we got him (from where, I’m not sure) so …
We got our first kitten, Ralph, in October 1977, shortly after I moved into my college apartment in Arlington. We figure she was born in August. I’m not sure where we got her, but her first photos are from Barb’s birthday party later that month. Very unfortunately, Ralph died only a month or so after …
