A modest family reunion

Yesterday David brought his youngest son, John Last Jr and John's partner Emily to Ottawa; John, just returned to Canada after a year at Bogazici University in Istanbul, was en route from Kingston to Halifax, to return for his final year at King's College, Dalhousie University and leaves later today to fly down east to Halifax. Here's a small selection of the photos we added to the family albums.

Three generations together. David, John Jr and John Sr (and Marmite, trying to escape)

We had a magnificent Indian take-out meal delivered to my apartment door, then the family all departed.  It was great to see young John and Emily again, but we had nowhere nearly enough time to exchange the contents of each other's minds.
