Underneath the long white hair the childhood of our grandfather glimmers through his bright blue eyes. The curiosity of a boy, chasing lizards from underneath stones. As the son of a mining engineer he came to explore the great frontier. Underneath the long white hair brims great knowledge of our grandfather. His love of wildlife landed him a great career as biology teacher and reptile keeper extraordinaire! Underneath the long white hair circles the family of our grandfather. Wife Carolyn, sons Carl and Paul, five grandchildren and one great-grandchild, in all. And dear friend Gary who counts as family, from operas in Santa Fe to symphonies by the sea. Underneath the long white hair the memory of our grandfather lives vibrantly. With fond hearts and curiosity, we remember his colorful menagerie. Afr
