Here’s a quick, freehand, digital impression of Heinz Chapel on the campus of the University of Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh, PA, where I got married to the love of my life, Annyth, aka, Zoydenia de la Barca on March 20, 1993. A classmate of ours at the time in the Anthropology Department at American University, Hal Recinos, performed the ceremony. It was a beautiful service, and it marks what remains the biggest and most perpetually revolving turning point in my life. Happy anniversary, Annyth.
