Family Photos

Picture
My wife Alicia is quite pretty and elegant, but she values her privacy greatly. As a long-suffering computer widow, I'll not compound her displeasure by keeping her photo on that blankety-blank screen for all the world to see.

Lisa Wedding Toast
Lisa was a skilled dancer and cheerleader and obviously very limber.

Picture
Gwen Jasmine and her little sister Jane Autumn will likely follow in mother Lisa's footsteps.

Picture
... since they just keep getting bigger and bigger and prettier and prettier.

Picture
Our wedding dance photo...

Picture

​is a little bit different than the sixth grade Father-Daughter dance...

Picture
...which was about the time that Dawn Marie (and Lisa) were in the musical, The Music Man.

Dawn's a lovely bride for Todd also.

Picture
Hmmm, this just seems to happen when folks get married.  Clara James Irby is another beauty.

Picture
Clara has flowered as well.

Picture
Looks like my cycling genes are taking hold with Clara.

 
Picture
​Chris was deservedly proud of being on Poway's California state champion lacrosse team.

Picture
​More recently, he convinced the lovely Vanessa Campet to marry him.

Picture

​In March 2012, Chris and Vanessa graced us with another beautiful granddaughter, Catherine Lynne.  And, yes, that is indeed a lot of hair.

Picture
Here's our latest (30Sep14) granddaughter, Brooke Alicia Mula, who is almost a twin of her sister Catherine.

Picture
Another pair of growing sisters!

Picture
My sister, Mary Anne Williams, has retired from teaching school in Arkansas, and does a great Patsy Cline on the side. She sang in the choir at Immanuel Baptist in Little Rock for years with President Clinton, although she likes me to note that she was a soloist, but he was not.

Picture
My mother, Mary Louise Sexton Eoff  Register, whom we buried in 1996 on her eightieth birthday. I chose her inscription to be "She Taught By Example". Her many students and her family will so attest and sorely miss her love and guidance.

Picture
My father, James Thomas Karam Sr., known to literally all in Arkansas as Jimmy -- first, because of all the TV ads he ran for his Men's Stores where he worked almost 50 years until his May 2000 passing; and second, because of his wide witness for the Lord.

Picture


​And, yes, President Clinton was gracious enough to allow my father, and my lovely step-mother Eleanor, to spend the night in the Lincoln Bedroom. And, anyone who knows him will just laugh if you suggest Daddy paid for the privilege. How anyone could catch so much grief for being kind to friends and elders is beyond me.

Managing System Development 101 5-Star Amazon Testimonials:
The book "Managing Systems - Development 101" by James T. Karam is written with the engineer's perspective in mind, specifically targeted towards those technical types who find themselves advancing into positions requiring managerial and oversight responsibilities, in addition to their technical expertise.
​
As a specific technical type moving more into a managerial role myself, I found the book an easy read (being only 111 pages or so), but dense, in the sense that there are a lot of benchmark figures and information that are hard to assimilate in one simple reading. I'll be using this book as reference in the future.
Duane A. Kaufman, 2010
This is great outline of succinct take-home messages. The subject material is timeless, and as new systems evolve, the advice from this author will remain relevant.
Francha Barker, 2013
