He is with the Free Congress Foundation and I believe he was one of the
founders of the TNERJ.

He visited Pittsburgh for the first time in the late 1950's or early
1960's. I don't know what Pittsburgh stuff he possesses. He does not
routinely sell photos. I am having copies made from his Milwaukee
slides. He did this as a personal favor to me. His contribution to
Pittsburgh transit history was working with CD Palmer and some political
leaders in the defeat of Skybus.

It certainly worked with that shot of 1614 you sent me. :-)

That is exactly what happened here. The lab claimed they can not print
with excessive border to preserve the entire image intact. Too much
trouble. The photo store manager has threatened to have a custom lab do
the work and charge the work to the original lab's account if they
refuse to honor my request. This might get interesting....Ken J.
