2. NCATHO_970219_02.JPG: National Cathedral, outside sculpture One of the sculptures on the outside of the National Cathedral.

4. NCATHO_970219_04.JPG: National Cathedral, outside sculpture (creation) This sculpture shows the creation.
5. NCATHO_970602_01.JPG: National Cathedral, front This is a front view of the Washington National Cathedral. Officially, the Cathedral was finished in 1990, after more than a century of planning. In fact, they're still working on one of the towers. It is the sixth-largest cathedral in the world. It's served for a number of state functions, such as the funerals of Woodrow Wilson, Dwight Eisenhower, Douglas MacArthur, and Omar Bradley. Martin Luther King Jr preached here on March 31, 1968, in what turned out to be his last Sunday sermon (being assassinated within the week). Woodrow Wilson, his wife Edith Galt Wilson, Helen Keller, and her teacher Annie Sullivan are all entombed in the building. The building is officially named the Cathedral Church of St Peter and St Paul. Construction began in 1907.
6. NCATHO_970906_01.JPG: St Albans School For Boys St Albans, located in the shadows of the National Cathedral, was founded in 1909 as the National Cathedral School, being intended as an educational facility for the cathedral's choirboys. Over the years, the children educated here has included the sons of the rich and powerful, including Franklin Roosevelt, Robert and Teddy Kennedy, George Bush, and Dan Quayle. Alumni include Al Gore. There is a much less well-known sister school to St Albans--the National Cathedral School for Girls--which is located in the same block. The boys school's establishment was funded by Harriet Land Johnston, a niece of President James Buchanan. The girls school was funded by Phoebe Hearst, the wife of California Senator George Hearst (parents of William Randolph Hearst).

1997 photos: Since 1984, I've lived in Silver Spring, Maryland. From 1981 to 2002, photos were taken using a Pentax ME Super camera. From 1989 to 2002, I was doing all pictures as prints (instead of slides which I had grown up on). In 1997, at the age of 40, my photo obsession began and I started taking thousands of photos per year. In September, 2002, I switched to digital cameras and the number of photos exploded. Image quality is going to be variable because these are scans of slides and/or prints. The images shown here were scanned in two phases. In the early years of the website, I rescanned a selection of pre-digital images, all at fairly low quality settings. During the COVID pandemic, I launched the Great Rescanning Effort, rescanning ALL of my pre-digital images from various media (prints, slides, negatives, etc) at higher resolution and quality settings. Mutilple versions of images -- some from the initial scannning phase, some from prints, some from slides/negatives -- were posted so there are frequently duplicate images on the same page. At some point, I hope to have time to do a final review and get rid of the duplicates but that'll have to wait until all of the pre-digital images are finally posted. Trips this year: North Carolina (Dad), Florida (Mom), using a time share in Arkansas to visit Civil War sites in Missouri, Georgia, Arkansas, Mississippi and Tennessee. The Civil War became my excuse to see places I'd never been to in my life and it was a great motivator for 20 years or so.
