FYI

There are some features of this blog that you may not be aware of. Raymond, Nathamy, Aprichael, and Ravid all have blogs; you'll find that you can click on their family pics on the side here to get there! And, the pic at the very bottom of the blog (with those still living at home) has a link to myfamily.com for the E Stokes family website. Cool, eh? So, click on the pics and go!
And, I've added everyone for whom I have email addresses to a list of people to be notified when new posts are made on this blog. Let me know if you don't want to be notified.

I have a new blog

Hi--I'm starting a blog as I try to keep making sense out of my dissertation research.  It's pretty interesting, so this is my first attempt to make some of it available.  My goal is to post something 5 times per week (if I make a posting, that means I've also done some work on my dissertation--this is largely a practical consideration).

Please visit it--I've included an option to follow the blog, and with your comments and suggestions, I hope it grows into something that will be useful to you and many others.  Click on the title of this post, or click here.

Thanks, Raymond

For Nathan and Amy

At this point it's gotta be hard to remember what gifts you gave, but I remember (one of the few things that I keep in my brain)! This dress was from Nathan and Amy - thanks! Doesn't she look adorable? Love you all! Hey, at least Amy and the kids will probably get to see her in this dress before she grows out of it!
