ONCE

On this date, November 27th, fifty years ago, 1969, my son Miles was born in Children's Hospital in Washington DC. This photo was taken by Beate Nilsen in 1976 when Miles and I were living alone on Sullivan Street in NYC in the period before his sister came to join us. It captures the sweetness and expressiveness of his personality then and still. Every day of his life has been a blessing for me.
