Howdy Crew,
I haven't been around much for the last bit due to family illness. However 
that's behind us and all is basically well. :-)

However the absents will continue for sometime, other than a quick stop by 
for a break once in awhile. I have been asked to get my butt in gear and 
write a book pertaining to my wild wild life as a photojournalist during the 
past 61 years.

Trust  me it will not be an easy task as you can see in the "Opening piece 
for the 1960 decade!" :-) This merely touches on a small portion of 
assignments during those 61 years.

Take care, have a look and think about this AS merely a tiny portion within 
the 61 years of fun and loving it every moment!

cheers,
ted
