June 26, 2015 Brandt and I were flying to New York City to celebrate the 30th anniversary of 42nd Street. We had a connection at Reagan and were on the tarmac ready to take off when the pilot announced traffic was halted as often happens in DC. I turned my phone back on, opened Facebook…

Where it all Began…
Well, September 25, 1959 is WHEN it began and this photo is December of 1959. From the expression on Dad’s face I suppose one might surmise I was a much loved Christmas present. I loved him back for the next almost 40 years. Where my story began and the foundation for TimMagic was laid was…
