While mining my archive as I organize the collection, I found photos I took
when I visited my mentor, Ed Farber at his home. [Ed was a pioneer in
developing portable electronic flash in the 1940's.] He had invited me to
be a joint presenter on electronic flash at the Milwaukee Sentinel Active
Americans event, and I went out to prepare our talk.  Ed had designed this
house himself on a hilltop location that he had picked out by flying over
southeastern Wisconsin looking for the best site.

This view is from his living room, which had large windows in a zig-zag
pattern arranged so that the sunset came into the room every day of the
year.  The hilltop overlooks Nagawicka Lake in Delafield, Wisconsin.

I also digitized Ed's multiple flash demonstration boards that he hauled
all over the country for seminars.
