Patrick Berta, 1963-1993 - Shooting star.

August 11, Point Place.

My brother Patrick died last night eighteen years ago on the tail of a shooting star.
He was 29 years young.
He was one of those rare good men. I miss him every day.

Kelleys Island.


August 10, Woodville.

We moved at night from Kelleys Island, as usual, and had to wait for the last show vehicles to make the ferry across to hit the road, as usual, so it was almost four in the morning when we got here. The night was deliciously cool and breezy.
