In the 1964-67 era, on many weekends - and some weekdays - I was out
photographing the last days of the 2nd Avenue, North Side and East End
lines.  Also, many times in that era, I recall seeing a woman
photographing trolleys, but at some distance from the rest of us.  Over
three years, we never came into proximity to allow conversation with her.
 From the photograph dates that show up on this e-mail list, it's obvious
that that person was Roberta Hill.  I was usually out photographing by
myself, but on those excursions I met several - mostly out of town - fans
that I still communicate with today.   At the time (before cell phones
and scanners) it was important to exchange information with other
photographers who may have heard something about a derailment, a
rerouting or a special movement. 
I guess Roberta did it on her own.
