Chris was just a baby maybe 1 years old. His mother Betty and I were sitting down by the creek on the ranch in Nambe wrapped in blankets . Fire flies were flying all over Chris was reaching out his hands trying to catch them. I was visiting from California and had never seen fire flies so I was just as excited as Chris !! The sweetest little boy. And a talented young man. Always sweet and kind to me.
