My dad, Don Henley Goodridge turned ninety this past Saturday, Oct. 10, 2015. These pictures were taken by an old friend of the family, Lorin Lewis an entertainment attorney based in New York. The party took place at the family home in Brooklyn, NY. His children, grandchildren and great-grand children were in attendance! Along with lots of other friends and relatives. It's always good to celebrate life while you're living!!! What a wonderful studio visit I had today with Brazilian artist, Ernani Silva. His work is colorful, vibrant, thoughtful. Based in New York, he truly is an artist with vision and desire for social impact.
