Oh my!! In the Alitalia shot that looks like Davey Wilson's old Chevy Nova - he loved that car! Wonder if he still has it?!

Betty was the real deal, I have her personal Mini Hawk. She had a house up here on Lake George, her, my father, Chris Friehopher, Bobby Sheer, and some other were all good friends. She was a hell of a person

Those photos that have the veil that is stick you can try to scan the same. Or if you have a digital camera you can try to take pictures using the indirect natural light near a window and using a little of zoom to reduce the deforming effect of the objective. |
