On Oct 3, 1965 I took him for a ride around Mt. Hood in a Cessna 150. It was
his first and last ride with me. By Oct. 15th he was dead. In about 1985 we
were cleaning out my mothers basement and I came across a stereo camera. It
still had undeveloped film in it from that mountain flight.

Enjoy it while you can. Time accelerates.

Best,

They always smoked cigars while doing the work.


Yeah, my father-in-law was the head of a medical laboratory in Racine, WI.
Everyone in the lab smoked cigarettes while working.

Times have changed in many ways!

These photos have been digitized and are used in medical schools today.


Very neat. What a terrific legacy.

Boy, ain't that the truth? It seems like my parents just passed away, yet
it's been 11 years for my dad, and over 5 years for my mom.

Time doesn't march on -- it sprints!
