Stove School

I teach stove school twice a year to about 30 people. This is class 17 which we had this November.

Native American Heritage Month

I am always delighted to find a picture or quote of Martha in my morning paper. Her comments and images appear fairly frequently because, many of you may know, she is deeply involved in local cultural and environmental groups. This photo accompanied a piece in last Friday's Florida Today on a celebration for Native American Heritage Month (she is addressing the Cocoa City Council). Thought it a fitting, inspiring post for the holiday. --Joe

Japanese Pumpkins

This is us last weekend climbing up a dormant volcano near to us. You can see the snow capped northern Alps in the background.
Here is a link to more pictures of our hike. PK

Boston Tea Party 1967

Shot from the internet of Lou Reed under the circular "praise the lord" that was the target for the blob machines and color projectors of the psychedelic light show.

Here is a link to some posters from the old Tea Party.
Here is some history on the Boston Tea Party.


Here is some more history. My brother Stanley was the stage manager at the Tea Party on Lansdowne Street, which replaced the after it closed on Berkley Street.PK

Julia and Lyn

Julia and Lyn in California recently. What is/was Lyn's last name?

George's Folly

The patchouli oil must be getting to me.

This postcard - a huge 7" high one on heavy card stock - is from the famous and long gone George's Folly store. On the back it says Copyright 1966 Unicorn Designs, New York, Postage five cents. Perfect.

That store (there were at least two, one in Wellesley, the other in Brookline) was filled with granny glasses, rings and bracelets, stash boxes, psychedelic posters, incense burners, and more paraphernalia than Tommy Chong could have dreamed. It was a magic place filled with Nehru jackets and sideburned register clerks, miniskirted girls, and suburban "radicalistas".

This isn't marked Peter Max, but it has the style. Today Peter Max is on the Home Shopping Network, autographing his posters. I bought one.

find those pictures....

Scan them in and post them here. I found this one in the pages of a book about Alexander Calder that Cindy gave me a long time ago.

Riverside Line

You can't see it here but the back seats in these had windows that would slide open. Milko taunted greasers from those windows, I smoked cigs and flicked them out, and we rode into Park Street, then to Harvard Square. On the way back, Milko drank down a diet Pepsi andthen "let it flow" out to the windshield of the trolley behind ours. It was so surreal and the funniest thing I have ever seen. The driver tried not to look. BC

Friends Catching Up, July '06, Maine

Kastner's Portland Maine early 70's

At this time Stanley ran a pub in Portland called "Boss Tweeds", Andrew was jamming in the Maine woods with Peter Green who had just quit Fleetwood Mac, My Dad was living it up in Boston and I was being the serious art student at RISD.

Together Again

Felt a need to temper the early photographs with something more recent. Martha, Joe and Cindy in Spring, '06 paddling the Indian River Lagoon, Cocoa Beach, Florida. A reunion, of sorts. --Joe
