Chris & Martin's ScrapBook 2025 (January - June)
These pages were initially created to transfer photos from traditional scrapbooks to the internet in order to both preserve and make the pictures and history available to family and friends. It has become more extensive than I intended. However, I see it as a way to save the details before they slip away.

March 26, 2025 - Today I received my last hair cut from Morgana. She is retiring and moving to the Ft. Worth area. In 1997, I was working for UT in the Education Building as a Multi-media Producer and IT person. I needed a hair cut and found Morgana at the Dobbie Mall. I've stayed with her for 28 years, even when she and two of her friends moved to South Lamar and we moved from Oak Hill to the Cedar Creek area. Then they moved to IH 35 and eventually to Ben White and South Lamar near the Target. At some point years ago, Chris began using Morgana as well.
It's amazing to have a hair stylist you meet with every 5 or 6 weeks for 28 years and the amount of life stories you share. I will miss Morgana and am happy for her retirement and new home.
