Thanks Stash and Sony A580! I'm truly grateful to all the folks who have taken the time and effort to help me with this project.

Thanks so much David and PlymouthWoodworker! It looks perfect to me. It will be sent to a cousin who is into genealogy and is building a compendium of family pics going back as far as she can find pictures of our kin.

Again, thanks so very much.

Thanks, GL

The photo I’ve posted is of my father. As can be seen, material has flaked off in several places. Restoration may be difficult because of the location of the white spots around the right eye. I don’t have the talent or tools to even attempt to restore the photo myself, but what with the wealth of expertise among those regularly posting on the UHH site there may be some who might be willing to give it a try. If so, I would be truly grateful even if efforts are unsuccessful.

The photo was taken, I believe, in 1916. Dad, born in 1899, joined the Mississippi National Guard likely seeking an opportunity to get off the farm. That opportunity arose when his Guard unit was activated and sent to France. He made it through the war unscathed. I have a snapshot of him sitting at a table on a sidewalk in Paris drinking a glass of wine. He never made it back to the farm, but took up the carpentry trade and eventually retired from his job as head of the Carpenter Shop at Brookley Air Force Base at Mobile, Alabama. He died in 1982.

Hi Eugene,

Agree. We have specified Good Mews, and animal shelter in Marietta, GA.

Jerry, I could certainly use such a power strip. Where did you find yours?

[quote=fourlocks]Wow! Aside from cameras, I fly radio control aircraft and I'm an instructor for people just starting out. Many transmitters use AA batteries and weak batteries can turn a $500 aircraft into an expensive lawn dart if the signal strength drops off too much. I'll pass this on to the members of my club because students often ask me which battery they should use.

Post hoc ergo propter hoc

"I recall the old days of Rich's department store in Atlanta..."

When I moved to Atlanta in 1974, Rich's and Davisons were in their prime. I bought a lot of stuff from both, but mostly from Rich's. Your mention of those stores brought back good memories.

Sanitary as distinct from Storm or Stormwater sewer. In some cities, they are combined, sometimes resulting in filthy overflows.

It played just fine for me. Near the beginning, is that you, Jerry, in the brown shirt?

They can be a bit noisy! In the early 60's I worked at Brookley AFB (Mobile, AL) which was prime for the F105. When they ran those things up, the windows in my office (an old barracks building) would rattle and telephone conversation was almost impossible. Also there was an engine overhaul shop where they rebuilt multi-cylinder radial engines and the test stand runs were almost as bad as the jets.

That's not quite the way W. C. Fields said it...

*PLEASE* store original so we can get a better look at these beauties...
