Paul (on the left) and me (Stephen) approx. 1962. This is my favorite picture of the two of us together. I remember that our parents told us to wear our favorite shirt for the picture. Paul is wearing his much-loved 50's-style cowboy shirt. Side note, there is evidence of four people in this picture: Paul and I, but also -- I am looking directly at the camera with our father taking the picture. If you look at Paul, you'll see he is looking to his right -- at our mother.
Date & Place: at Home 73 Loomis Street, in Milford, New Haven County, Connecticut United States

A promising young life, ending so early! That's the problem with motorcycles - it doesn't mater how safe and careful YOU are on your bike - it's all those yahoos out there, not paying attention, who will kill you, and there are no "fender benders" on bikes - you are totally exposed. 😢
We (the family) never knew what happened to cause the accident. The weather was great, and people I knew who actually saw it happen -- told me there was nobody around him when he lost control and fell. It will always be a mystery.

I'm from England, but lived the majority of my life in the US. I've traveled the world as part of corporate America, and have enjoyed interacting and learning from other cultures. As you can tell -- I'm not a writer, but I do have many fond memories. Ever since I was a child, I've felt that cemeteries should be respected as repositories of lives, in some cases lived long before we are born. The stories deserve to be told and remembered, but in most cases, the mute stones don't tell them. I resolved to try to use whatever skills I had to tell the world about my older brother, who wasn't famous but meant the world to me.
I live here in CT with my fantastic wife -- my successful children and my two cute grandchildren live locally.

I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Support ). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come. I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in San Jose (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our previous Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director
My family began AncientFaces because we believe that unique photos and stories that show who people are/were should be shared with the world.
