I still remember trooping out in second grade to view the sun thru a glass that our teacher had smoked with a candle. No wonder I can no longer see. Wonder what the liability issues would be in today's world. Fortunately there were lots of kids who wanted to look so no one got to view the sun too long.

I too would like to know if those shots include Jerry. At first glance I thought it might be of him coming and then going--except the coming runner had blue shorts and the going runner had green shorts.

The other day someone suggested that “General Chit-chat” be changed to “Jerry’s Page”. My reaction at the time was “Ha ha…that’s funny” Then today I open the page and all the topics, save one, are Jerry’s. I may have to wrack my brain today to come up with a topic!😳😂


Hmm . . . when I sign on to UHH, I go first to "Members buy/sell/trade" to see if there is something offered that I can no longer without (or, without which I can no longer live, for purists) and then I go over to General Chit/Chat to see if Jerry is maintaining his #1 Topic Starter rank. There for awhile, he was #2 and it was causing me some concern. On occasion, Jerry posts something that really interests me--sometimes even dealing with photography. Having said all the foregoing, I really enjoy Jerry's posts and I will continue to see what he has to say--right after seeing what's for sale.

I am also 75, I have two of them, one is because I have a pace maker. What the second one is used for I have no idea, it stays plugged in and I have not moved it in almost two years. The other one I used to make calls but mostly it is useless to me. I have trouble understand most people on that phone, pretty much a useless toy.


When you say you have two of them, do you mean two cell phones or two landlines?

Nice shots. Unless that's extremely plush carpeting, the right front tire looks flat. As I look at shot #5, I cannot help but think about a kid today being confused as to how a rotary dial phone would work. If I tried to drive the Rolls, I'm not sure how I would start.

Standard sub design back then and the engines that produced the electricity for the batteries and drove the sub when on the surface were mostly Fairbanks Morse = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairbanks_Morse_38_8-1/8_diesel_engine#:~:text=38%208%2D1%2F8%20diesel%20engine.,War%20II%20and%20the%201950s.

Packard made Merlins were used in PT boats etc. The early designs used Allisons but then the Merlins took over mostly. Those Packard made Merlins were a US modified design. Redesigned for mass production assembly lines and easier upkeep. Even many UK ground crews tried to get hold of them when doing an engine replacement because the US parts were "drop in" while the UK made engines needed a "fitter" to re-machine parts for repairs.

My Mom and Dad met at Packard in Detroit where they made the Packard Merlins. He was foreman of the wiring inspection department on one shift and she was his head inspector.

So I have fond thoughts for the Packard made Merlins, they were one of the main reasons I am here.

As a kid in Arizona, I always hoped my dad would get one of these.

Very nice! Which Hasselblad did you use? My daughter wants one in the worst way. I've been keeping an eye out for a nice, low mileage 501cm. Is there another model she might be happier with. I just don't know, having been a Nikon shooter for many decades.

I like yours better too, but I think they want you to actually look at the car. Just a thought.

Jerry--Next time you decide to send someone a compliment, you could run it by me and I could help you 'fine tune' it. Just a thought, my friend.
