JOHN'S PHOTOS FOR THE WEEK

This week just a few pics from Erving and Deerfield and a candid photo. I was sick all week with multiple infections, but did manage to get a majority of the submissions on the site so it didn't end up effecting the update that much. Who knows where Johnny G will end up next.

I am always looking for photos of old Stoneham (Mass) apparatus, incidents or members for my personal collection if anyone can help. A digital scan is perfectly fine, I don't need an original as long as the scan is big enough to print out. I also can scan photos, slides and negatives and then give them back to you if that is easier. CLICK FOR EMAIL.


I had the pleasure of attending Art Burns' wedding last weekend along with my wife and Mike Boynton and his wife. Here is Art catch up with Mike and I during the reception. Best wishes to Art on a long and prosperous marriage.
