Christmas 2016 - The Skinner Family on the Skinner Family Park Bench

For Frank’s birthday in October, I donated a park bench to the City of Huntington Beach which was placed in Fahrquar Park (close to our home). Although I had planned on using one of his favorite sayings for the plaque (like “The fun train is leaving!”), he said that he preferred that it say “The Skinner Family – Frank, Donna, Emma and Sophie.” (The dogs, present and past, are included because they are the ones that have joined us as we walk through our neighborhood and city parks.)

Donna’s model, Mira Dujanovic, posed with her at the OC Visual Arts Competition where her portrait, American Woman, won a 2nd place ribbon in the Mixed Media Division.
