Hi Beth . My name is Richard Gillam and I live in Durango, CO. You may (or may not lol) remember me as we went to school together at Crosby H.S. I was in the same class as Ed was and my brother was in the class ahead of you and just behind your brother George. Your wonderful Dad was our family doctor. Lynne and I are one day apart in age (I'm a day older) and grew up across the street from each other. I saw Ed and Lynne last summer for the first time in forty years and what a great pleasure it was seeing them! Lynne gave me this website because, since I retired, I have tried to advance my photographic skills, and Lynne thought I could learn a lot between yours' and Eds' websites (and I have!!!) You and Ed are two of the best photographers I've ever seen and I just wanted to extend my heartfelt thanks for sharing your talents with me. I'm glad all the exposures and times are listed with the photos because they help an amateur like me immensely. Thank you for everything and I'd love to hear from you. Bye for now Richard
