Quincy Rose Marsh
February 22, 2012 - February 26, 2012
Quincy Rose Marsh was
born to Katie & Dan Marsh at
Sharp Mary Birch Hospital on
the eve of February 22nd via
c-section. From several pre-natal
ultrasounds, she was suspected'
to have trisomy 18, a rare
chromosomal disorder. Two days
after her birth, this diagnosis was
confirmed. She was born at 32 weeks gestation (following 2 ½ weeks
of hospital bed rest for Katie) and consequently she had to reside in
the NICU. Ninety percent of babies born with trisomy 18 don't live to
birth. We were very lucky to get four days with her. In her final hours,
the NICU staff removed her tubes and dressed and swaddled her
in pink. We held her in our arms until she slowly and quietly slipped
away. Quincy leaves behind two little sisters - five-year-old Tabitha
and three-year-old Willow.
We have lived in Julian for about three years,. This is the first time our
family has experienced living in a small town. We are so grateful to
our friends and neighbors here who helped us during this challenging
time. It was so comforting to know that we had your support while
Katie was on bed rest and while we spent time with Quincy in the
NICU.
A few weeks before I went on hospital bed rest I called UCSD
Medical Center to make a dermatology appointment. A young woman
answered the phone, "UCSD Medical Center, this is Quincy, how may
I help you?" I was rather shocked by the coincidence because I had
never met a female Quincy before. I told the young woman my baby's
name and she agreed that it is a rare name for a girl.
As fate would have it, my dermatology appointment fell on the
Monday morning just a half day after Quincy died. I phoned UCSD
again, this time to reschedule my appointment, bracing myself for
Quincy to answer the phone. "UCSD Medical Centerl this is Angel,
how may I help you?"
Good-bye, our sweet Quincy Angel. Please watch over our family.
We will remember you and love you forever.
Love,
Katie, Dan, Tabitha and Willow Marsh
Accidental Artist
continued from page 1
Borrego Valley surrounded by
the magnificent Anza-Borrego
Desert State Park. In this book,
Lindsay recounts how Breceda
has become a renowned artist in
ten short years with no previous
art training or even interest in art.
The book features over 250 full-
color photographs that depict the
sculptures under many lighting
conditions that bring these
figures to life.
Breceda has taken a primitive
welding art form of Mexico to
new provocative heights by
creating startling sculptures
of astonishing artistry and
craftsmanship. Until a few years
ago this gifted artist, dubbed
"the Picasso of Steel," was an
injured construction worker and
a cowboy boot salesman. An
accident unleashed his hidden
talent while his entrepreneurial
skills prepared him to take
advantage of opportunities that
came his way. This book is the
fascinating journey of how this
artist came to be. Inspired by
science, history, nature, whim
and fantasy, the amazing figures
have become a tourist attraction,
drawing visitors from around the
world.

The Julian News 7
At Bailey's
This Saturday
The G String Daddies, a
high energy power trio out of
San Diego, play what can be
described as "retro rock" a
dynamic and soulful sound -
infused with blues, rockabilly and
a dusting of punk ?n? roll, all with
the drive of Americana on the
road.
Their newest release, "Workin?
At The Booby Trap?", takes you
on a ride that will evoke moments
of every decade of rock n? roll,
fueled by the often searing and
sometimes sweet guitar work of
frontman Hugh Gaskins. Look
out the windows and you might
catch a glimpse of anyone from
Jimi Hendrix and Mark Knopfler
to Elvis and Fats Domino. Check
the rearview though, and you?ll
know the starting point for this
journey was rooted in the blues.
Live in Julian. Shod in Julian

Hurricane
Lamp
Q: I have a hurricane lamp that
is inscribed on the underside
"L&LWMC 1973." Can you
please identify ff and give me the
name of a dealer who buys such
lamps.
-- Lloyd, Surprise, Ariz.
A: Your lamp was manufactured
by Loevsky and Loevsky White
Metal Castings, a company based
in New Jersey that specialized in
reproduction lamps and fixtures.
It closed in about 1978. Your
lamp was made in 1973, and is,
indeed, a reproduction and not
rare. I hav e seen similar lamps at
antique malls and in thrift shops
priced for less than $50.
Q: I have a book in the "Tell
a Tale" series entitled "Lfftle
Black Sambo." I also have the
Viewmaster reel that goes with it.
Can you help me determine the
value?
-- Florence in Dubuque, Iowa
A: Before I answer your
question, let's review a little
literary history. The character
of Little Black Sambo was
introduced in 1898 by Helen
Bannerman, the daughter of a
Scottish minister and the wife of
a surgeon in the British Army in
India. The story she wrote was
set in India and vividly describes
a young boy's encounters with
four tigers. The book was so
popular, she followed it with three
sequels: "LittleBlack Quibba,"
"Little Black Quasha" and "Little
Black Mingo."
It wasn't until the 1930s and
'40s that "Little Black Sambo"
began to take on negative ra¢ial
connotations. The book has
gone through dozens of editions,
but I believe your "Tell a Tale"
version is probably from the
1950s. If so, it is worth about
$25. The reel you have might be
valued at about $10. One of my
favorite references in this field of
collecting is "The Art and History
of Black Memorabilia" by Larry
Vincent Buster (Potter, $34.95).
Q: / would like to find the value
of an Alice Caviness necklace
that was given to me in 1957.
-- Charlotte,. Okeechobee, Fla.
A: Janet Gaynor is the owner of
AZillion Sparklz and has bought,
sold and appraised vintage
costume and fine estate jewelry
for more than two decades.
She might be able to help you
determine the retail value of
your necklace. Her contact
information is P.O. Box 35038,
Tucson, AZ 85740, and www.
sparklz.com.
