Here are my parents in June of 2004

McSheehy siblings 1977

My two oldest brothers are in the back Mike and Mark (both 6 and 8 yrs older) My two younger step brothers who were adopted by my father, Shane (aka Bid) and Slade. I found out recently that Slade is a counselor in Vancouver Washington and Shane is a father of two married and presently working towards becoming a SWAT team member in Florida. Then there is my sister Mellissa up front and me to her left (your right). My dad gave me this picture when I came back from Ireland in 2002. I stopped through Florida to see him. It had been in his wallet for the last 25 years.

Here's my step-brother Slade in August 2004

We met over drinks to catch up on each other's lives while he was waiting for a flight to see my younger step-brother Shane. I found out he now lives five of six blocks from the first house I owned in Portland. It's so weird that two people who have only seen each other four times in the last 25 years could end up on the other end of the US and only five blocks from where one another had lived, by pure chance.

My sister and her kids (January 2004)

Mellissa came to visit me for my birthday and brought my nephew Travis and niece Natassja. We went to the Seattle Aquarium and Natassja and I played at the Seattle EMP.

Close up of the same . . . Sorry I am the master of the obvious. ;)

In the old Curiosity Shop along the Seattle Waterfront.

Natassja and I spent the afternoon at Seattle's EMP together.

The Fisher family 4th of July 2002.

Rocker Girl

Believe it or not I actually play. Ok it's been a while, but I do play. ;)

Natassja's first professional recording

I like karaoke, but I was loving this.

If I could have just one of those guitars behind me!!!

Natassja at the base of the Space Needle.

My hero

Here we are shoping for the nights dinner. Melissa figured out that farm salmon and wild salmon have one major difference. $10/lb difference. ;)

My favorite niece!!! . . . ok she's also my only niece. ;)

Mellissa and my nephew Travis (Oct 2002)

Mellissa is my younger sister. God, we tortured each other growing up. She used to chase me around the house with a butcher knife . . . wait no that was me. ;) I really couldn't ask for a better sister than Mellissa. She is both my sister and one of my closest friends.

Damn good looking lady. (96', Yes I used to have long hair!!!)

My Step-Dad Warner

You couldn't ask for a better father figure. The best thing he taught me growing up was that, being a man, you can't run from your mistakes. You need to face them. That's the true test of a man.

This is my dad (Summer 2002)

We met for the first time in 18 years the day this picture was taken. I am glad I did it. We had a great day together talking about his growing up in St. Pete, shared military stories and bonding that I hope to continue with him. It's never too late to restore lost relationships.

Palm Springs with the family

Mom and I (Summer 2001) in Vegas

Mike, Matthew and Mark

I need to get some better pictures online. There aren't many of all three of us together. This is the only one I have scanned in at this time. Mike is the oldest, living in Tampa Florida, Mark is the middle man in Chicago and then there is me as the youngest boy. Mellissa is the youngest all together.

Randall and Mellissa in Palm Springs

Mellissa met Randall on a vacation in Mexico. She's a travel agent and he is a pilot. What a combination. Where can't they go? . . . Oh wait there is little Travis in the mix now. I guess the question is where can they go? So Randall, how about sending some buddy passes this way since you two obviously can't use them. ;) j/k

Mike and Rebecca in Tampa

I visited my brother on the way back from Ireland this last September. He indoctrinated me into Gatormania (UofF). We were watching a Gator game in one of his friends pubs.

Four generations of women

This is my grandmother, Mema. What a character she was. Graduate of Juliard in NY NY, former Broadway actress and singer. She lived life much larger than most.

One of my visits home to see the family.

Lakers Suck!!!!!

This is what happens when you stick a Blazer fan and a Laker fan in the same house and the Laker fan gloats over a Laker win. ;)

St. Paul's Cathedral in St. Petersburg Florida

That's Mike and I standing outside of the church. Each of us children were baptised there, my parents went to school there, were married there and my grandparents had their memorial service there.

Granpa Morgan's House

My brother didn't think I would recognize the place, but I did. The trees are 30 years larger and the guy who owns it hasn't done a very good job of taking care of the place, but it's still the house my grand dad built.

Fruitland Park House

This is the house I lived in as a kid. We had 100 acres of land and we explored every bit of that land. We had tree forts, ground forts and even underground forts. All the kids in the neighborhood would come to play there.
