I am really sad that the new Fort Ord State Park has opened to the public. We had our own private beach for the last 2-3 years. Only a handful of people ever came down to our little bluff over the ocean.

More reflections on Helen Inada…...
Maybe it’s cathartic to write about her, not to forget.
I think of Dylan Thomas “Rage, rage against the dying of the light.”
Helen fought well until the end….. and the end wasn’t very pleasant or dignified.
Every night, Dale would gently tuck Helen in bed with a teddy bear and a kiss on the forehead. I was struck how kind and considerate Dale was towards Helen.

I am ashamed that I didn’t always treat Helen with the same dignity.

Christmas with Barney and Helen
Christmas of 2006. Barney was sharp mentally. Helen was struggling, her life was difficult and at times very sad.
This was her last Christmas. She died Dec. 20, 2007.
