Miss Liberty and Uncle Sam

Tal and I are enjoying the chaplain's table here at Kanuga with Martha and Val Taylor (photographed on the 4th of July). The guest period chaplaincies are endowed and week one is in memory of Edward Haner, Martha's late husband. She and Val have been married three years, having met each other at an Appalachian Trail conference in Virginia -- she from Florida and he from Maine. In addition to Martha and Val at our table is Martha's son and daughter-in-law and (pictured here) 7-year-old grandson, Blake.
