As a welcome counterpoint to the anxious state of our world, the theme of healing unites the stories in this, the final edition of Bruce Weber’s “All-American” series. Catherine Fairweather offers a personal essay about her life with the acclaimed war photographer Don McCullin, whose unflinching images open the volume. The extraordinary story of a renowned surgeon and his patient over time—and how their narratives intersect with Bruce’s own—highlights compassion and serendipity in equal measure. The life pursuits of three exceptional athletes: mountaineer Cory Richards, cyclist Richard Lima and jiu-jitsu champion Rickson Gracie, exemplify the interconnection of physical and mental well-being. The truly uncommon life of the Israeli-Ukrainian artist Zoya Cherkassky—and the artwork it inspires—is illuminated through a candid interview from her Long Island studio. Photographer and editor Natalia Ortega documents a teen-led pallbearer ministry dedicated to the needy of Cleveland, Ohio. And Bruce Weber shares two photo tributes of deep personal significance: one to his friend, the revered conservationist Jane Goodall, and the other to Dennis and Nancy Deveaugh, owners of a ranch that has inspired him for decades as a favorite location for editorial and portrait sittings. In closing the journal year, Bruce writes: This is the 25th edition of a project that Nan and I started with Little Bear Press at our studio back in 2001. Since then, we’ve learned that publishing a journal is a lot like growing a tree: It takes time. Rain waters it patiently, seasons come and go through sun and storm, and sometimes we have to collect the leaves from around its trunk to help it look strong. We want to thank you, our dear readers, for joining us over these many years. Maybe someday one of your grandchildren will pick up a copy of “All-American” in a favorite used bookstore, sit under the shade of a tree, thumb through its pages and think, “Those were the glory days.”.
