That is fantastic and really adds something to have "the before and after" comparison! Thanks!

It's remarkable that after all this time five HS friends still have a relationship and willing to get together for the recreation.

I never met the Beatles. I took Ted Nugent's kids' Senior Portraits (Sasha & Rocco). I put my name on all of my images. As he was placing Sasha's order, the sales rep asked if I could step into the consultation room. "Ted wants to talk to you."
"Yeah, Ted, what's up?"
"Hey, you look like a rock and roller. I want to ask you something: does your name go on all of the photographs?"
"Yep."
"Well, ya see, if I endorse something, I get paid for it. You know that Ford Bronco out there in your parking lot? (Ted drove a white Bronco with Zebra stripes on it) Well, the Ford dealer pays me to drive that."
"Well, you didn't take the name "Ford" off the car, did you Ted?"
"Ahh, no, I didn't. What difference does that make?"
"Well, I'm not the dealer, I'm the maker. So just like that Bronco, my name goes on everything I produce, because I'm proud of it. I had a new employee forget to stamp some portraits and the customer called us a little upset. She said she paid a lot of money for those and she wanted her friends to know it.
"But I understand. I'll tell you what I'll do...I'll leave my name off Sasha's pictures if you leave your name off your next album. My attorney can have the agreement drawn up and here in an hour."
He looked at me. I looked at him. He looked at me. I looked at him. Finally, he said, "Yeah, that's a good point." The end.
Oh, Bob Segar used my Fender Mustang for a concert once, but that's a whole other story.

Very good story and proof many years later and surprisingly, all still alive.

That is so cool.
Glad to see everyone is still alive. Thanks for showing.
