What's New? June 3 Newsletter

In the mid 80s, a close friend gifted me a modernist-style aluminum/rubber bracelet before he left on a year-long backpacking trip to Peru. Unfortunately, during that trip in the Andes, my friend was held up in a robbery and shot dead. To this day, I love the bracelet and wear it often in remembrance of our friendship.
