Ram Dass hugs my mother 1996

In late 1996, several months before his stroke, Ram Dass journeyed from his home in San Anselmo, CA to Walnut Creek, CA to visit with my mother, my Aunt Jean and Don Douglas. People he had known for over 30 years by then. My mother had moved there from Hawaii a year or so before that. My mother and Ram Dass not seen each other in a very, very long time. Here are some pictures from that day. They are all clearly very happy to be in each other’s presence once again.
