Daddy William (that’s me!) tending the fire. Loved that stone fireplace! And the wooden stool in front was carved from a single log of wood by my Aunt Helen Bass Whitehead of Richmond, VA. She was an artist. We debated if it was a bear or a pig. On the belly was carved a long, literary paragraph. Sadly, this artwork was burned up in the May 2010 Edmonds House Fire.
