Alter to celebrate Dia de Los Muertos

John Santos' beuatiful wife Aida put together this alter at the edge of the stage.   John explained the alter was to honor all those who have left us.  He later found out who the photos on the alter were:   from left to right John and Aida's daughter who tragically passed away shortly after she was born; John's brother who died at a young age; and Ron Stallings a local musician who died recently.
