I’ve had two cats named Jake. The first was one my parents got before I was born. He had a brother named Theodore.
In 1992, after Jake and Theodore died, my cousin Matt brought home another all-black cat. Since the second one looked so much like the first, we just kept the name.
Rest in peace to my great uncle Mike Baves, of Rankin, PA.
I celebrated my third birthday. I know there is video somewhere, but here are the photos I recently found. Click on the images to enlarge.

My mother took thousands of photos over the years, all stored in photo albums at my father’s house. I’ve volunteered for the tedious task of scanning as many as I can handle (not all – just the best or most meaningful ones). Needless to say, this is an extremely time-consuming process and I’m not even closed to being finished, but I know it’s making many friends and family members happy to see these photos.
Right now I’m posting them on Google, but the second phase of the project – if I ever get there – is to organize these by year, place, person and event. This could take the rest of my life.
