So here is the final part of our story. We met, in 1973, at a picnic sponsored by the company where she and my father both worked. Three weeks later I asked her to marry me. (Yes that was pretty fast). There are a milliion stories I could tell you about her but this one best shows the qualities she possessed that captured my love forever. The unpredictability, the sense of fun, and the stubborn insistence on getting her own way. From what I've written before you know that she was pretty shy about her body. She NEVER wanted anyone but the doctor or myself to see her naked. No one else. So the idea of her doing anything that could be thought of as exhibitionism was beyond my imagining. In 1990 (making her 39 years old) we were on vacation in San Diego California. Our motel was only a few blocks from the crowded downtown area. It was surrounded by multi story apartment buildings and tall office towers. All with very good views of the motel grounds including the outdoor pool. It was our last day of vacation and we wanted to take one final swim. I took a couple of pictures of her in her bathing suit and then locked the camera in our room. When I got back outside she was already in the pool.....and her swimsuit was outside the pool on a lounge chair. After swimming and playing around for about 45 minutes we were ready to get dressed to go out for dinner. I expected her to ask me to get the suit so she could put it on in the pool. Instead she climbed out retrieved her suit, and walked naked back to our room. When I asked her what in the world she had been thinking of when she did that, all she would say was "Well I couldn't know for SURE that anyone was watching us". For whatever reason she had decided she wanted to swim naked that day and nothing was going to stop her. That was her one and only experience in skinny dipping. Not in some lake deep in the woods away from anyone who could see her but out in the open, in the bright sunlight, in the middle of a city of one and a quarter million people. She made sure that life was never boring. The first two photos are the swimsuit pictures I just mentioned, and the last ones are what I think are her two most seductive photos. We spent over 45 years together, always as deeply in love as the day we married and impossibly happy, up to the day she passed away, Dec 26 2019. She was 68, her name was Helena and she was my best friend. Even though she said she never wanted anyone to see her naked, I wanted people to see how beautiful she was, and how playful she was, and how brave she was. The internet and OCC have given me a chance to showcase her. I want to thank all of you who have stopped by to visit her and for all the kind things you have had to say. She would have been greatly surprised and touched by all the positive and flattering things you had to say about her. Though there will be no new nude photos of her posted, pay a return visit occasionally to see her again. If any of you downloaded some of these pictures for your own collection, enjoy them with our compliments. You know her name now so you can tell your friends about her and point them toward OCC where she lives on, hopefully forever. Thank you all again.
