My very special friend Don DeLlamas died on the 31st
of July.
My youngest commented that it took a village to raise my two
kids, and Don was an influential part of this village. I missed the Obituary that was run in our
local paper. I thank his late in life
wife for posting the notice for those of his family down here. I thank Timothy for calling me yesterday, and, for our large extended family, this morning I posted an album of photographs on my Facebook page.

Don DeLlamas came back from Vietnam and started college at
Southwestern College in 1965. There was
a large crowd of us creative folks who became family and created a village. Most importantly was Joleen K McP. Dance, writers, sculptors, painters, and printers were
all represented, and all loved my kids.
It took a special support system of all of us to create
something special in the 1960’s art world.
A family. Don was a part of my
family. I loved Don.

I'm sorry, Mage. I'm so consistently surprised at life's both tenacity and precariousness.
ReplyDeleteAm checking out your Facebook page.
Actually, no I'm not checking out your F-book page. Could you 'friend' me?
ReplyDeleteOh Mage, I'm so sorry to read this. It's always hard to lose a dear friend. Speaking of which, my post tomorrow is about loss too.
ReplyDeleteAlways hard to lose a loved one. My condolences.
ReplyDeleteRegarding chocolate on cookies. Good idea but it would up the point count? What kind of chocolate do you recommend?
I am hoping the back and knee pain are reduced by the hip surgery when it happens. I am sure my back pain is made worse by listing sideways while walking to accomodate my hip.
Spoke with Richard a day or so ago and planning a CA visit in Oct. God willing.
Yes, growing older is interesting and a daily challenge. Saw doc this AM and now seeing 20/20 in my right eye. Surgery on the other eye is Monday.
I saw a T-shirt today on a male shopper that said "the hippies were right" and for some reason I thought of you and then you created this post and now I know why.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear of the loss of such a dear friend.
ReplyDeleteThe link worked and the photos gave some idea of how special he was.
