Kyle, Annoyed, with Bag

Memories have started coming in. Here's a pic my friend Kate S sent me. I sent it to her years ago to show her what my brother looked like, and then completely forgot about it. Thanks Kate!

And thanks to everyone else who's contributed. Keep them coming!

I have some vivid memories and a photo of Kyle and you and Kiersty and Nick to go with them, that I'll get to you, if you can email your address to me. The photo is hard copy and a really nice one of Kyle, in particular.

I'll never forget the time we spent with you and Kyle in Keene before you went on the Cape-Cod trip. I think I cooked pancakes for you one morning and the whole time I was in the kitchen, Kyle had us laughing hysterically with his acid wit.

I was so struck by him as a teen. I wondered at the time: Does anyone know? Does anyone realize that this kid is incredibly - almost secretly smart? Does anyone notice the subtle depth of wisdom in his perceptive observations? His running commentary on all things familial was the stuff of some kind of an adolescent-Garrison Keeler-does-caffeine-radio show.

I remember later, watching Kyle fold himself into the back seat of the tiny rental car, head set all in place, ready for the long haul to Cape Cod with your mother and my mother. I have no idea how he lasted for that journey and I'd have given anything to hear his version of the trip. He was brilliant.
