<DIV><BR></DIV><BR>This has to be last 1970s or early 1980s … before the used
Omega D2 enlarger was moved into the darkroom and the Dejur 4x5 was sidelined
to be used only when needed for distortion control. Fred's hair
was still brown and plentiful … before my wife said, "I wonder what it would
look shorter." And afterward she said, "I didn't mean that short"
and I said "Get used to it … it's low maintenance." <BR><BR>> Url :

<BR><BR>I had no idea you were on that trip John. I don't know who
the guy on the left is. The one on the right is Jeff
Marinoff. He was celebrating or lamenting the loss of the 80 cars
on the Red Arrow and their replacement by the Kawasakis. The
motorman is the guy on the left holding the cake. Yes, it was Fred
blocking the picture because I was taking a picture of those two holding the
cake. It was in October 1982 in Media, Pa., yes … 31 years
ago.<BR><BR><A

John, Fred is the guy next to the tripod. I took this with three
different cameras … hand-held 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 with a Mamiya twin lens reflex on
black and white roll film, Kodachrome in a Nikon, and 4x5 in an old
Speed Graphic mounted on a tripod and focused on the ground glass to make sure
it was perfectly sharp. There is a 16x20 print hanging on the den
wall from that negative. That Graphic had an extremely wide angle
lens. When was it? Don't remember the date and I
didn't record it on the slides but they have processing dates of November
1980.<BR><BR>Car 8534 is up at the "museum" in Scranton now.
Last time I saw 2054, I was not impressed with its condition.
Remember that the HB lifeguard had been removed from it because it was placed
under the state motor vehicle inspection code and that required that safety
appliances had to work …… so SEPTA's solution was to remove it and then it
doesn't have to work. <BR><BR>But who are all those other
people. I have no recollection that they were all
there. I just remember getting a phone call from Russ Jackson
telling me it was going to happen so I took the day off and went to
Philadelphia. Apparently you did the same, John.<BR><BR><BR><A
