I found this quote on a site about Pre-Raphaelite Women.  When I met Belle Burch I could not take my eyes off her very long and beautiful neck.

Originally posted on Rosamond Press: The Parthian ruler, Babak, ruled over Adibene. Babak mean “little father”. Meher Baba, of Parsi descent, means “compassionate father”. Was Queen Helena related to Cyrus the Great? Above is Babak’s castle that is right out of Tolkein. Surely this is the home of Gandalf the Grey’s grandfathers. Jon the Nazarite…

Above is Glenview Elementary School where all four Presco children attended.  Below is the home we lived in on San Sebastian. There are pics of Corpus Christi Church and Leimert Bridge. There are archways that lead to Piedmont, and the empty lot we played in. Here are the homes of my friends, and my enemies.…

William Broderick married Alice Stuttmeister, the daughter of  William Stuttmeister and Augusta Janke, and lived on 13th. Avenue and 31st. St. in the large Victorian seen above. The Prescos moved there in 1953 and lived in the top half of this beautiful house. I am going to take you on a tour of the Oakland the…
