bandit’s Memorial Booklet
2017 • 7" x 5" • color print
When I retired in 2008 and moved to Morro Bay, the first order of business was to get my mind & body ready to start the impending dialysis treatments. That took about a year. The next important thing was to find a dog companion.
I completed an extensive application at Woods Animal Rescue in San Luis Obispo. About 2 weeks later, while in my dialysis chair, they called saying they’d found a dog for me. Everything got much better after that!
I soon reconnected with an old girlfriend from my singing days, Linda Ferreira. Over the course of 5 years Linda made over 100 stylisth and colorful bandanas for Ms. Bandit. The borders of this book are some of the favorites. We scattered Bandit’s ashes at the sites pictured here.
