the grad photo is easy to date,  1965. I was in Vietnam and wrote Dusty telling him not
to join the military. So what does he do? Joins the Marines. Went to Nam too.

He looks about 15 and our great leaders send him off to kill and die in an unjust, unnecessary war.
Maybe it was all so that he could say he was a Marine and later married Maureen...

Dusty's first marriage didn't work out but produced a beautiful daughter, Dusti Mari. She grew into a highly
competent young woman, delivered twins and sadly took her own life. During her Goth phase she introduced
me to The Sugar Cubes and The Dead Kennedys. Impishly cute.


Jumping to about 2013 - 4



Menze Construction Company - Dusty was a partner there until they sold it and he retired. An owner,
yes, but still a union man.

I like this shot even though, maybe because it's out of focus.
