Welcome Chris Stone, supershooter, to ranks of the Mighty 60s

My talented and beautiful wife, Chris, who has competed in nationals and worlds while also covering them with her Nikons, turned 60 on Saturday. It was a wonderful day. Her best girlfriend (from age 5) traveled from Tucson, as did her brother Ed. We spent the day at San Diego’s most scenic spots, from Cabrillo National Monument to various piers and Mount Soledad Park. She used her new Nikkor 12-24mm wide-angle lens (also great for covering masters track). But we celebrate her birthday Sunday, so please join me in wishing her well in the best age group (which I joined in June). She’s a key reason I can do this blog. Her support and indulgence are legendary.

Chris Stone was at the end of the Ocean Beach Pier on her birthday but still is just beginning exploring her photo skills.

Chris was at the end of the Crystal Pier in San Diego’s Pacific Beach on her birthday Saturday but still is just beginning to plumb her photo skills.

    Happy Birthday, Chris! Thanks to Ken and Chris, there are thousands of us who have photos of ourselves in Masters competition that now date from quite a few years back. These photos are treasured! When I see T&F pics of my younger self, I always prefer these shots to me standing at a party with a drink in hand or whatever. “Forever Young,” Chris!
