Great to see some rarely seen, if not never before seen, old school photos. Sure would be great if Dave would add some captions.

Wow, Hitchcock, Kauk, Dale Bard, Wheeler, Pettigrew, as well as Dave and Phil Bircheff!
I don't recognize the guy with the thick black glasses though. Does anyone else?

I had no idea what a great collection of slides I was working on. Seems to be making quite a ripple among you old guys. Thanks for the great response. Still more to come.
