A Shadow of Myself Pennsylvania 1956

First of all, I have no idea why this text is underlined and I don't know how to turn it off. There is no underline button on the toolbar.  Secondly, when my PC crashed two weeks ago, I lose my Random America file. I didn't lose my original photographs, but they are scattered throughout several files. I need to reselect what I wish to publish here. The photo above is my shadow in my Pennsylvania backyard when I was 15 already shooting everything in sight.

On the boardwalk in Wildwood. Seems to be frozen in time. I was taken there when I was a kid and this photo was 15 years ago and those are my three kids, Laurel, Noelle and Darryl.  This was an Easter weekend, not exactly sunbathing season. It was a chill and windy day, thus the coats.

Strolling the Garden and Where's Lemmo

There are new blossoms in the Garden today, July 6. Also here is a help on finding Lemmo in all those people.

Where's Waldo...er...LEMMO?

Let's have a little fun. Can you find me?



This is the front and back cover of the WTC 1989 Annual Report. The company decided to dedicate their annual report to the employees that year. We were requested to report (after work, of course) to the University of Delaware Stadium for a photo shoot. You will notice the pinched faces. We were facing the late afternoon July sun. The photographer was up at the top of the opposite grandstand. It was brutally hot and took forever to get everyone placed and the picture snapped. A few people did faint.



1,400 plus of the 1,882 staff members of WTC showed up and are on the cover. They provided a large spread of picnic foods under the grandstand for us. I just wanted to get home and skipped the feast. This was a good choice. Quite a number of people got food poisoning from the potato salad, which had been sitting out in that high temperature for hours.



I weighted more in 1989 and had no beard, just thinning gray hair. I was not in the center of the stands. Those people ended up on the binding of the report and are not in the two pictures above. It was actually one continuous photograph, but I had to scan it in parts.
