BACK IN NYC
The Welcome Home Celebration!

Brain and the Comet return in triumph to the loving arms of friends, family, and the teeming masses!  Check out these great shoots of all the fun.
(And just click on the smaller photos to see larger images.)

Got lot’s of inquiries about what happened after the tour, did Brian make it back, did the Comet make it back? Yes, the Comet's problem were all fixed out west, where she continued to convey Brian up and down the Bitterroot Range and beyond. She got a lift home to New York care of Monte's Trucking (she'd been through enough tribulations, as had her master, who flew black.) So the Comet and Brian have returned to the Northeast by ways, top down, enjoying the Indian Summer.

An’ whaddaya know … friends
and family had a welcome home
party – and Dena won the toss
for a bowling shirt!
The retinue includes, variously from left:
Nephew Marlon (red), Niece Legs, Don Kidd,
Brother Ted (shirt), Skip and Dena Baker,
Francois Baker, Kim Lovejoy,
Cuz Bill and Cuz Janey.
Take it easy with
that stuff, Legs…
Yes, and a welcome home bird for Brian from Cuz Janey,
and a new breathalyzer for Don!
