So Long, Jay Leno!

So long to Jay Leno after a great run on the Tonight Show.

Had the pleasure of meeting him in Bahrain when he came over to entertain the troops during Operation Desert Shield in the first Gulf War.

A Great Dodger Pitcher

Here is an image of the wind-up of the great Sandy Koufax, who pitched for the LA Dodgers in the 1960’s.  This image is a reproduction of a photograph I created using four negatives from four separate photos.  They were taken by me during a game at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles during the 1966 season.

Pan American World Airways – Images of a Great Airline Second Edition

My first published book, now in its Second Edition! I had collected a lot of Pan Am memorabilia over the years and thought it would be nice to be put unto some sort of scrap book to preserve them. What resulted was this book. So many people do not know about the important contributions Pan Am made to commercial air transportation, and I put this book together so that those interested in airlines and airline history would get a quick visual summary of Pan Am’s accomplishments in its short life.
