I think I have exchanged with everyone but username. Did I get that right?
It is wonderful to see so many people looking so happy and having a Boston tea party.
er, Jes. Your hair looks blonde to me.
Great photos Walter. Your larger and much more expensive camera did a much better just with the dark John Harvard environment. I like the shot of RJB where he's sporting a halo.

I am glad you mentioned that, littlek. I met RJB in Chicago last year. He did not have the same "glow" when I saw him in person. When I saw the Boston photos, I was afraid he had become radioactive!
Nice photography, Walter!
The name, please, is Saint RJB. I have forwarded the pictures to the Vatican as proof thst I should be beatified, even though I aint dead yet.

I wondered if Saint RJB was auditioning a new avatar - to match Dag.
I think it looks like Saint RJB is sitting on a thrown in that one.
More wonderful pictures! Looks like you were all having a great time.
Thrown, JPB? Nothing got thrown until later in the evening when someone (nameless by me) made a lurid comment directed towards someone else. Saint Johnboy, his smile as intact as the yellow happy face character, ducked behind his throne. You should have been there.
Saint JohnBoy is a holy terror, I tell ya.

The photos were taken about four days before the hair dye job from heck.
And yes, RJB is the Patron Saint of Fantasy Baseball.

I can see that! :wink:
Is he as calm, sorted out & as contented in real life as he looks in Walter's photographs? Delightful pictures.
Andrew, you look very distinguished!
Yes, Walter, great pix... I like the spontaneity and relaxed atmosphere you have captured. Looks like the rest of us missed a fun gathering.
WOW. Those are some BIG beer bottles - and I thought we had big things down here in TX....
Keep those pix coming
I think, this is my favoutite photo taken in Boston (Faneuil Hall, Quincy Market):
That is a GREAT photo, Walter.
Frame-worthy.
But do you know whose statue that is?
BTW, congrats on spelling "Faneuil Hall" correctly.
I'll bet 90% of Bostonians could not.
Love that picture.
Hey, George. Whose statue is that? I've been searching because I thought it might be a Cabot or a Lodge.
if it's Quincy Market it's probably James Michael Curley, the long-time much-beloved mayor of Boston, who was last re-elected, if I remember my Boston folklore correctly, while he was in jail, a New England tradition, like most recently Buddy Cianci, ex-mayor of Providence. Curley was before my time here, so it's all hearsay to me. There are a couple statues of him sitting on park benches. People come and sit with him and feed the pigeons or eat lunch. The pigeons crap on his head.

I recognize that typo move. Comes before the brain engages, and immediately leaps on.
Thus I have my share of hear for here, there for they're or their, though I well know better. I figure it for a synapse jumparama.

Johnboy makes a note in his will: No statue that gets crapped on.
