However that's behind us and all is basically well. :-) However the absents will continue for sometime, other than a quick stop by for a break once in awhile. I have been asked to get my butt in gear and write a book pertaining to my wild wild life as a photojournalist during the past 61 years. Trust me it will not be an easy task as you can see in the "Opening piece for the 1960 decade!" :-) This merely touches on a small portion of assignments during those 61 years. Take care, have a look and think about this AS merely a tiny portion within the 61 years of fun and loving it every moment! cheers, ted ============================================= THE SIXTIES! --- Now that was a Time: Death, discovery, baby birthing, Pot Pipe - :-) -- plane crashes-Arctic -- Europe -- Orient -- cowboys -- round-up, Stampedes -- Grey Cup football -- Prime Minister Louise St. Laurent -- Arctic ice-breaker -- Interpol-Madrid -- Spain -bull fighting -- Paris - artists -- Munich-Oktoberfest -- Monaco-French Riviera -- London - Hyde Park -- New York-Martha -- The Congo -- Zambia, Israel 6 Day War -- Egypt -- Vietnam-war -- Hong Kong -- Tokyo -- Sweden - World Hockey Championships -- Norway-NATO military exercises -- Japan-Canada industrial works -- Attacked by Rabid Fox -- Thrown from high speed boat during assignment -- shooting from inside stock car and crash -- seal hunting with Eskimos -- eating seal meat -- helicopter fire and crash landing-Arctic -- shot at during war -- beaten by police -- shooting from horse back for a month during round-up -- Vancouver Stanley Park love-in and hash! -- Mexico bull fighting -- Olympic Bob-sled shooting from sled - Sapporo, Japan -- Kno cked flying on sideline by football players -- Caribbean training with USA Marines -- First ever Sushi-Japan -- World Hockey Championships-Sweden -- Common Wealth Games-Edinburgh -- Laser weapon research - Newcastle-UK -- Coal mining-Wales -- Dawson City Gold Rush Festival -- Searching for oil, NWT & off shore Atlantic -- Seattle World's Fair -- Buffalo Days-Regina -- Blue Nose Schooner disaster-Bermuda!
