[Ken and Tracie]

As an example, I have obtained a number of your shots as duplicate slides or 
prints from other fans, estate sales, etc. I know they are yours because 
they are stamped with your name.I also found some of your work in the late 
Paul Weyrich's collection, which he willed to me.

I have a favorite shot you took of an eastbound Route 10 car as it is 
leaving the private right of and entering the street leading to 68th. I 
cannot recall from whom I received it.
