Hi Both of you (Jan and Walter) So prune them down to about 50 , Jan... :) the colors look fine on my dell dimentions c521 It is also just about my favorite part of the country - and I spent lots of time there when you were there,too, Walter - thena gap of time and then a lot more in the 80's
I was in Taos in 1956 in summer stock/theatre when Spud Johnson, Mable Dodge, Dorthy Brett and Eddie Foy were all still alive and I met them all. The had a contest to name the drive in - then the winning entry was "Kit Carson" do you believe. In 1964 I did the same gig in the much less amiable Portales, NM where they called Pizza burgers Wop burgers and sold postcards with the atom bomb going off. Nice folk. The head of the theatre was the guy who used to play Captain Midnight on radio and wanted to forget it, but every one knew... he was the head of the Theatre Dept at Eastern State University and cast himself in the stock company's production of Come Back, Little Sheba.... jobbing in Betty Field for female lead. Sorry, but looking at Jan's photos, although rambling, brought back lots of fond memories... I probably could write the captions for most of them.. ann Jan van Wijk wrote: >Hi Walter, > >On Mon, 8 Sep 2008 15:32:23 -0400, Walter Hamler wrote: > > > >>I just looked at all of them.
