Sunday, September 20th

Today is the 81st anniversary of my dad's "arrival" as the first son of Gustaf "Gus" and Hermina "Min" Kynast... he was the first of his branch of the family to be "born in the USA", and to go to college (he earned degrees in Civil Engineering from NYU and Harvard); he and my mom raised five kids (of whom I am the oldest), delighted in spending time with us, our spouses and their 12 grandkids (he is shown holding #11 Nicholas, son of my little brother Mike). Dad left us one year before Lana... miss you, Dad!
Kara flies out tomorrow afternoon (Atlanta-Los Angeles-Sydney-Perth) and arrives Wednesday morning... talk about a long trip!
