Photo of the Week # 30 - Theta Chi Reunion - 2004

We are leaving Tuesday for another reunion for the 1960's members of Epsilon Alpha Chapter of Theta Chi. This picture was taken in the White Mountains of New Hampshire; this was our first reunion. It was great to see brothers whom I hadn't seen in forty years. This year's reunion, our fourth, will be in Asheville, NC. Should be lots of fun!

Photo of the Week # 29 - Yosemite

Every time I go to the Hyde House and see Bierstadt's Yosemite Valley with the Cliffs of El Capitan on the left and Cathedral Rock with the Bridal Veil Falls on the right, I think of the picture I took on our trip there in 2005. This is the same view as Bierstadt painted in 1865, but my picture isn't anywhere as good as his!

Stiled Houses in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia. A trip I took about 1981 when I was located in Hong Kong. An interesting and educational trip for sure

Photo of the Week #26 - Covered Bridge

Many of you know that I love bridges and one of these days I would like to publish my pictures of "Bridges from Around the World". On our recent trip to the Green Mountains of Vermont, we past no less than eight covered bridges. Here is just one of them: Silk Road Bridge in Bennington, Vt. I like this one because of the name, which in this case, it is the name of the road and has nothing, of course, to do with the fame Silk Road of China. The bridge spans the Wallomsac River, is eighty-eight feet long and built in 1840.
