On assignment for UPI, Boston bureau 41 years ago, Oct. 1, 1979. Here's my photo's of Pope John's visit to the USA! His plain arrived 3:20 pm misty rain. The key shot we were told, when the Pope reaches the ground to kiss it, that's the shot we're looking for!
I was giving a special position on the rooftop at Boston's, Logan International Airport! Jim McKnight, from AP, was there with me. I made the shot as you can see, it was published page one The New York Daily New's, the next morning.
Also, when you turn the cover page to page two, inside cover, that was my photo too! Pope John with Rosalynn Carter, that was my photo also. Two cover photos, page one and two, HOWS THAT!
Photo 1 made Nikon f2 & Nikkor 600mm f5.6 and photo 3, Nikon FTN & Nikkor 1000mm f11 mirror. ASA 1250 HOW'S THAT! AP

You certainly enjoyed an exciting career in photography, AP. The people you captured (Julia Child, Elvis, The Pope, etc) are interesting because they were all people who had a major influence on my generation. Thank you for sharing your work. You have every reason to be proud.

Welcome, John! I wish I had more knowledge of the computer world. I have a tremendous amount of film to attach and log into my MAC computer. I'm sure i'll get there if I do give up! AP

OOPS AP, excuse my error, referred to Mrs Carter as Carolyn when it is Roslyn (senior moment!!)
