>I can't wait to read the whole book!  That's a great start.<<<<<<

Good morning Tina,
Thank you for the encouragement. I feel this written book project along with 
the very best photo in some cases that tie in with a story as an end of the 
trail project for my covering 61 years as a photojournalist. I've been 
collecting little bits of words, some for at least 30 or more years, in some 
cases a few notes as a reminder of the moments. Helps when the memory banks 
go blank some days. :-( Strange how this seems to creep in when you can't 
remember days or that a week has gone by?

The important thing is, I'm making every effort to stay with it simply 
because it appears if I do not do it now, it will never be done. Besides 
over the years there have been litterly hundreds of lay people and 
photographers who've encouraged me....... "Man you have to write that down 
as your life is so far beyond the lives of most photographers, people need 
to know what the wonder years of the 50's - 60's and 70's were like to be a 
photojournalist and news-photographer!

I'll endeavor to put a few stories of interest up on line as I remember to 
do so. It's when your photo family of many many years give you praise or a 
smack on the side of the head will help keep it all in line.

So fear not my dear family please feel quite free to bite or bark when one 
comes-up worth a comment. Good-bad or ugly! Thank you all very much. Oh and 
we'll keep Leica moments in as well! :-) Yes there are a few of those. ;-)
cheers,
Dr. ted :-)
