Winter season 2000-1 in Switzerland

Alison and Marlowe snowshoeing with the Older Person

By a happy confluence of circumstances, Alison Peck and Marlowe Peck were able to visit their old dad, from Bonn and Philadelphia respectively, at the same time, during the Christmas season 2000-2001.

Here are some commemorative photos of the occasion.

You will not find this interesting unless you're included here, so this is a good time for casual and random browsers to turn back before they get too caught up in the sweep and majesty of the proceedings and can't let go.

Nope, just taking a photo of Marlowe (Photo credit: Alison Peck).
