This is our grandson Pvt. Mathew Kendall, graduating from Army Infantry basic training in Feb. 2010 at Fort Benning, Ga. It was an awesome feeling and a proud moment for grandpa Mike.
No it's not a cake, but "The Tower of Babel." This is my latest project built from wet clay just like the babylonians did 4,000 B.C. I remember the Irish Nuns telling us of this Biblical passage as a 1st grader at St. Cornelius School at Wardlow and Bellflower Blvd. in 1956. This model took me six months to create. I have dedicated this to our beloved troops in Iraq where Babylon was situated.

These are my grandsons, Nicholas and PJ Wilborn now 10 and 12 years old. They lived in Culver City before the family moved to Atlanta, Ga. One of the things that they really miss about Southern California is going to the beach. I took this picture at Manhattan Beach during their last summer visit with me.

We bought this Laker uniform form our great grandson, Jai Bailey and when he put it on he stuck his foot out and said, "I'm Kobe."
