I wish I had, but we didn't. Annie Laurie spent years in front of television cameras and thought her "advanced years" combined with the lung cancer had made her "less than camera worthy", so she wasn't up for the idea of cameras around. I understand. As a kid, every time I did ANYTHING, my dad filmed it. I don't DO photos. I used to take thousands of rose shots, landscapes, etc., but this was a special breakfast "date" with a cherished friend. Cameras were the farthest thing from either of our minds. If I can find them, I do have a few photos of the two of us at her fiftieth wedding anniversary, just a few days after her husband's death. It was his idea, like his wake. A marvelous celebration of a wonderful marriage and two very dear friends. And, my honor and pleasure to be her "date" to her anniversary. Kim
