Welcome to lamarthames.com, a site created to provide another window on the world. I am a former newspaper editor who still wants to interact with the public, inform, entertain and maybe bring a smile to your face. I like to write creatively, take photographs of my grandchildren and places where my wife and I go on vacation, and play golf. My wife is a former teacher who is now a curriculum specialist with the district office. We have four children and six grandchildren. Come join me in this new venture.
