Did you notice, Boris, that the caption does not claim that this photo was 
taken on Bill Vigrass' trip.

(:>)

Think I also used several Chick Siebert and a couple John Stern scenes from 
Sprague Library files to augment Bill's photos.  Bill had a great story.  
The problem was coming up with photos to illustrate his/ (the route of his)  
journey.  Even some of Bill's photos could have been taken on subsequent 
visits to Pittsburgh.

The goal was not to illustrate the photos that Bill took on his trip.  The 
goal was to illustrate what it was like to make such a trip.  There's a 
difference.
