Merry Christmas 2010 and Happy New Year 2011

Betty, Kern, and Michael in Davis, and Kate and David and Jackson and Jaron in San Diego, send you the very warmest wishes for this holiday season.

Below you will find the now-traditional slideshow of our family's year, a little audio you can choose while you watch the slides, and a link to our birthday present to the patriarch: W. Kern Holoman: Memoirs. The slideshow takes about five minutes; you can also click in the lower left corner of the slideshow screen to go and browse one-by-one.
