Monday Swim

Our friend Al Valliere passed away 8 days ago. He was struggling with dementia. His company designed and built the magnificent YMCA pool in the 80's, converting a post office building into the most amazing pool. He was a dear friend and our first friend in Woonsocket. We went to the memorial on Saturday. Al was also a dedicated tri-athelete. We are friends with Al's daughter Vanessa who is a performer, a comedian. This morning I swam 80 laps dedicated to Al! It helped me move from weepy to centered.
