I'd always wanted to be in Krewe du Vieux but it didn't happen until I met Ashley. I asked him semi-facetiously, "Who do you have to kill to get into KDV?" He said: "You don't have to go that far." That's how Dr. A and I joined the sub-krewe of PAN. Here's Ashley struttin' his stuff after the 2007 parade, which was Dr. A and my first year as members:
Here are Ashley (looking goofy) and his dawlin' wife Hana before the 2008 parade:
Finally, here's Ashley the proud papa on Mardi Gras Day 2007:

The Greek gods and angels were modeled after Ashley before his presence
made its appearance on Earth. Even after he has departed, he still and
forever commands our attention. We were the fortunate ones to have shared
precious moments with him.
Thanks for posting pictures of him in his very large life. This morning is
all about denial.
Thanks for posting the pics, A.
