This picture was taken in early March of 1990 and is one of my favorites from that week. I love the intense stare - the beginning of a beautiful relationship. As he said to me later, "from the beginning it was like she poked me right between the eyes and I was hers". This is my Dad, Frank "Larry" Walls spending quality time with his first grandchild, Catherine Michelle Clifton. Daddy was in Daytona for Bike Week when Catherine was born and came up to meet her when she was a few days old. To this day both Catherine and her Grandpa (who never succeeded in convincing Catherine she should address him as "Grandfather Dear" - said tongue firmly planted in cheek, of course!) will tell you that her birthday is "Bike Week"!
