(and it would really help if I included the URLs!)

While I was in high school, a group of us wrote, produced and performed 
an original musical, "River Kids," based on Mark Twain's "Tom Sawyer." I 
had a supporting role (Rev. Thatcher).? I was did freelance work for the 
town newspaper, so naturally I ended up writing and photographing a 
feature article on the show.? The photos were shot with a Leica M2, 50mm 
DR Summicron on Tri-X.

The article and photos appeared in my home town newspaper, the Lexington 
(MA) Minute-Man in Nov. 1970.

One of my old friends just sent me scans of these newspaper clippings, 
which were in a box of memorabilia from his parent's attic.

(this last one was originally a color shot which we used on a publicity 
poster.  For the newspaper, I printed it on Panalure paper, which gave 
reasonably correct B&W tones).

Sorry I've been a bit scarce lately.? I've been crazy-busy with musical 
things.? Much of that will finish around the middle of the month, and I 
might just pick up the camera again...
