WHO REMEMBERS BILL? ANYONE OUT THERE, ANYONE AT ALL?
ANOTHER GREAT PHOTO ON LOAN FROM GREGORY PETERSON FROM PHOTOS IN HIS PERSONAL COLLECTION. THE PHOTO OF "BILL" IS ONE OF THE MANY GREGORY PETERSON HAS COLLECTED IN HIS VARIOUS TRAVELS AND VISITS TO ANTIQUE SHOW, ANTIQUE SHOPS AND FLEA MARKETS. THESE PHOTOS, HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR GREGORY'S FONDNESS AND RESPECT FOR PEOPLE OF THE PAST, WOULD NO DOUBT HAVE ENDED IN THE LANDFILL SOMEWHERE.
I AM THANKFUL THAT THERE ARE PHOTOGRAPHERS AND COLLECTORS WHO FIND THESE OLD AND SOMETIMES FADED IMAGES INTERESTING. THEY DO HAVE A STORY TO TELL; EVEN WITHOUT NAMES OR DATES, THEY WILL CAUSE THOSE OF US WHO ARE INTERESTED TO STOP, LOOK AND LISTEN...TO THE ECHOES OF THE PAST.
THANKS TO BILL FOR BEING THERE IN 1930.
AND THANKS TO GREGORY FOR PRESERVING THE PHOTO OF BILL, WHOEVER HE WAS.
"The found photos are in my personal collection, but while I own the actual image, I sort of think of them as public property," stated Gregory.

About Me
- HUFFSTUTTER'S PHOTO ESSAYS
- My dad's dad, my grandfather, was nine years old when President Lincoln died from an assassin's bullet. Most people think I am speaking of my GREAT GRANDFATHER. NO, I am referring to my dad's father, my paternal Grandfather, Robert Levi Huffstutter, born in 1856. What does this information have to do with my profile? It might help the reader understand that I have a sense of being much older than I am in that only one generation seperates me from President Lincoln. This causes me to respond differently to society and many current events. In many respects, this is to my benefit, in other respects it dates my mindset. Perhaps this is the reason I value the moral standards and idealogies of older Americans, the men who were the soldiers and sailors I saw when I was a small boy,the men and women who fought a war for freedom without any doubts posted by a media with a questionable lack of national unity and purpose.
