hopeful

Toronto, Ontario

my grandson, still a bit short for any slam-dunking, took me to his nearby school to shoot a few hoops...another hopeful young student, Frankie Owen Goldberg, attended here during 1934-37....years later, to avoid the scourge of anti-Semitism, he changed his name to Frank Gehry

Great shot of your grandson. I had no idea that Frank Gehry went there or that he was Jewish. ~BV~

That's a long way up. I'll bet he got a few.

Nice shot of your grandson trying his best David. I think they should build height-adjustable basketball nets/stands to give the smaller folks a real chance at scoring.

What a great way to spend time with him. It is one of my favorite pastimes with my grandson as well.

that should be anti-semitism, my high school typing is a bit rusty.

I love this shot! I just don't understand anti-semjtism.

Nicely composed to get in much of the school. He will soon be taller than his grandpa. V

Nicely composed view of your grandson shooting a few hoops. I like the Frank Gehry connection.

Wonderful capture! And I hope his dreams all come true.

That's a great shot of your grandson. I've known Frank Gehry for 30 some years as we look after him when he travels. He is still working at age 90!
