Thanks, Brian.
As I posted in my photo blog, Picher was immensely fascinating for me.
I think I could have stayed there shooting for an entire week and never
run out of shots to take. I wondered what became of Gloria and Tom,
too. I always love finding things like that -- personal graffiti, for
lack of a better term.
Glad you enjoyed my contribution. I absolutely enjoyed making it.

I started to post the photos I took to Flickr, but quickly grew
annoyed at the fact that it was taking forever to get them all uploaded
(and that I've exceeded my 200-photo limit!!!). So, I went ahead and
put together a couple of blog posts with some of the images I took on
our treks out into the NW Arkansas and NE Oklahoma hinterlands.
After looking at Ted's shots, I must say I'm submitting these humbly,
and only because it would be unseemly not to do so. It seems Ted was
wise enough to take time to create good photography, whereas I took a
rather scatter-shot approach -- taking pictures of everything that
moved, and didn't move. If I learned anything from our trips, it's the
old maxim, "Slow and steady wins the race." RAW vs. jpeg. Bracketed
vs. single exposure. Tripod vs. handheld.
My hat is off to you, Mr. Beilby. You gave me quite a tutorial, whether
you intended to or not. :-)

I enjoyed those Walt - and thanks for the story about Pilcher. Old
mining towns are fascinating places.
Nice to know that Gloria loved Tom for at least 16 days back in 1998.
Wonder how that turned out?
Cheers
Brian
