Otto and I spent Christmas, 2006, with our daughter, Candace Shock, and her family
Below are three Christmas pictures: of Candace's beautiful tree, of the whole family
(including Hobbit, favorite dog) enjoying Christmas carols, and of Candace with her
older son, Byron, watching gifts being opened.
Above are older pictures: at left of Clint, Candace's husband crossing
a
plank at a poplar plantation in Brazil, where he does much consulting.
At right Cedric and Myrtle Shock on the top of mountain somewhere (I
think). Candace's three children are Byron, Myrtle and Cedric.
