Edward Weston's Birthday was March 24

Kerik · Mar 26, 2011

Well I just noticed that Ed Weston shared a birthday with my dad, but my dad was born in 1927. And speaking of the Westons, two weeks ago my wife and I sauntered into a local antique store and I noticed two prints for sale:

So, I had to bring them home for what amounts to a song. Note that Brett was only 18 when he made this image. Never thought we'd own a Weston and now we own two. They are going to need some conservation work, but well worth it!

:confused: OK, Kerik. I've always admired your work, but now I'm just seriously jealous of you!

Edward died the year I was born, although at opposite ends. Happy birthday, Edward!

This is bizarre, how can someone who has been dead and buried for more than fifty years have a " happy birthday" :confused:

I was with Brett the morning that his dad died, January 1, 1958. The events of the day are etched in my memory.

Quite an historic date Merg. Would you care to share any thoughts from that day?

Thank you, Robert, for your interest and coaxing.

I have many fond memories from my friendship of forty years with Brett; some of them I have shared on this public forum. However, there are some that are best savored privately. Certainly, to be with Brett on the day that his father died was such a memory. Perhaps there will be a time that I will feel comfortable sharing these memories. I hope that you understand.

Completely, Merg,

I would hope that such memories are written down somewhere for at least future generations.

Respectfully,
