This photo of Val was taken within a day or two of her 48th birthday when she visited the USS Cod, a WW II submarine tied up in Cleveland, Ohio. It is one of the last I took of her and it was at a time when she was happiest. She had had a thing about subs and I think a visit on the Cod was one of the best birth day presents I ever gave her.

I will be working on this page in the future and will try to turn it into some kind of memorial, so please bare with me as I work on it from time to time.
