Arizona and LeQuesne Family Reunion 2009 (May 2009)| As we try to do each year, the LeQuesne clan got together in Arizona. This time, the center focus was the graduation of Renee Elizabeth LeQuesne, oldest daughter to my brother, Bruce LeQuesne and Geni LeQuesne. All 6 children of Art and Terry LeQuesne came together to visit parents and family. Grandchildren Scott (son of Paula) and Sheryl (daughter of Michelle) also flew in from Massachusetts. This trip included the graduation of Renee from high school, a church service which honored our mother and father and their family, a hike by four (brothers Bruce and Curt and Geni and daughter Sheryl) into the Grand Canyon, and many other family connections of new people, like Meagan's Mike, Donna's Jeffrey, Patty's Bruce, Scott's friend Jim and my friend Laurie. It was a mad, exhilerating, crazy, loving time with Art and Terry LeQuesne, our parents - written by daughter Michelle. |

Rockdale, MA flood of 2005 (October 15, 2005)| These images are from the center of Rockdale Village in Northbridge, MA on October 15, 2005. The last flood of this type was in the 1970's and then there was a worse one in 1955. My husband, Bob Fontaine, watched that one as a child and said the water was much worse. It reached the roof lines of the businesses on Main Street. It was very polluted with the chemicals and paints from the factories. The effects of pollution were not understood then as they are now. He and the other kids were playing in the flood water, as kids love to do on rainy days! The water of this flood smelled pretty bad, like dead fish. Yuck! |

Franconia Notch Hike (September 1-3, 2005)| Choosing a title for this was difficult.
