I do not have any pictures of myself just because......... I had to get this piece of film from my Ma and scan it in.

I'm on the right, the fish just happened to be there!
The short gentleman on the left is my Dad (he was not that short, the dock was just leaning the wrong way) passed a few years ago. He was a great guy.

<< Too bad about the snake thogh. >>

Is that a poisonous snake? If not, why kill it? Snakes are great to have around---they eat a lot of harmful insects.

Not poisonous and it is protected (found out later). Trouble was it was right outside of our cabin door threatening my daughter and I tried to get it to go away but it just kept hanging out. It was a dumb reaction but when comes to your family...

Other than Garter and the uncommon Massasauga Rattler I never knew the Eastern Hog-nose even existed there. I have seen another Hog-nose since and know better. It was just the proximity to the cabin/daughter that caused my reaction.

<< My son and I on the field at yesterday's Michigan-Notre Dame game. I love him.

This guy I've never liked. He creeps me out.

Notre Dame doing their Pilates? A bad look

The good band

The winning team

Even he could not save Notre Dame

As an alum of The Ohio State University, I guess I have to admit Michiganders can have some redeeming qualities..... numismatics!

Great pic...........

That is me in 1978, holding a model I made of what Titanic might look like, if broken long before the wreck was discovered. I rendered what was then believed to be a 300 foot gash from bow to beneath the first funnel. I dreamed of being involved in some way with liners some day.

This is a little more recent. At the stern of the QM2 during a special Cunard 80TH birthday party for a ocean liner author/friend. I had just turned 40 a few days before and yes, my dream came true in ways I never thought. The party was for someone whose books and writings about the R.M.S. Mauretania and others ignited my interest in the Great Liners over 30 years ago.

I recently placed this original pilaster into the Segedunum Museum at Wallsend-upon-Tyne, perhaps 400 yards from where this wood was hand carved and where the R.M.S. Mauretania was originally built in 1906. The montage shows the pilaster before restoration alongside archival images from my collection marking its original location (there were several as you can see).

Pilaster, First Class Lounge, R.M.S. Mauretania 1907-1934

Hi Mike!

Thanks!

How's that big lump o' coal doing? I was answering some queries about the origin of the coal used Titanic's MV, and it might interest you to know some of it started its life mined in Pennsylvania. There was some testing done a few years ago - most interesting.

You might enjoy this:

This color digital rendering of Aquitania's First Class Lounge was created from a b/w photo by a pupil of mine, Joseph Bernard Rayder, with a little guidance from me. This image was recently published by William Miller in his excellent new "little book", The Great Liners Story, 2012, by The History Press. You can not find a better "little book" for 8.99 GBP! It is hardcover and replete with stunning color images from Bill's personal collection and those of many others, including many superb Kodachrome color slides of the C.G.T. Normandie before and after the fire. Click the link below to see a sample image.

The Palladian Lounge aboard the Cunard Aquitania. Colors suggested by The Shipbuilder, in conjunction with colors sampled from similar period rooms here and abroad. There is some "artistic" license and selective focus used judiciously. Colors are close, but not perfect. Feedback welcome.

Best wishes - How's the family? Is it 3 years already?

Great looking costumes. What's with the green jack-o-lantern? I guess you were trying to color coordinate with your costume.

That indeed is a super photo! Great Dad!! I am guessing you lugged the green jack-o'lantern. Or was it under ripe?
