Newport's Eastrow Garden Walk June, 2010

We have been working hard for months and finally the big moment has arrived.Grandma Jo got to sit in the backyard as 752 people stopped by to look at the flowers and the bricks.

Justin Lawrence And Yvonne Bradley

Becky is very fond of idealistic young Justin who has been saving the world in Canada, Kenya, Ecuador and now Newport at the Brighton Center. Yvonne does all types of things for the city.

Frank Peluso, Newport City Commissioner

For the past two months I have been pestering the legendary Johnny 'TV' Peluso for his picture. At least now I have a picture of his son. Frank made my mouth water when he told me that he has a grill made from bricks from the Pink Pussycat, owned by our old neighbor, Callie Eisner.

Linda Kreidler and Luna

I met Linda many years ago over on Fairfax Ave. in Cincinnati. She is a good friend and a very talented garden designer who has helped us enormously. I have learned a great deal from her.

Photographers on the Prowl

Bruce Murray has taken thousands of picturews of the neighborhood. The young lady is from House Trends magazine.

Joy Bishop

Joy gave me the brick in the wall from Cincinnati's Longview Insane Asylum where she used to work. She is posing with an 'ABC' brick from Kalamazoo's Home for Feeble Minded Women.

Becky with John and Julie Morrow.

Julie is running a seat in the Kentucky state senate. They are both very active in the neighborhood.
