Description of Pictures: The commemoration ceremonies for the 50th anniversary of the Korean War were conducted June 25 in Seoul, South Korea, and Washington, D.C. They are the first of many commemorative events scheduled during the next three years in the United States and the Republic of Korea marking the history of the Korean War.

The Washington, D.C., ceremony was held at the Korean War Memorial and attracted about 6,000 Korean War veterans and their families. The commemoration included speeches by President Clinton and Republic of Korea Ambassador to the United States Hong-Koo Lee. Former Senator John Glenn, a highly decorated Korean War veteran, served as master of ceremonies, and entertainment included singer Connie Stevens, who, at age 15, entertained American troops with the USO during the Korean War. Other speakers included Bill Clinton and Secretary of Defense William Cohen.

2000 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. Trips this year: In 2000, I took three weeks and drove 10,000 miles across country in my new Saturn station wagon -- taking the northern route through Montana and other places, arriving in San Francisco (a place I'd always wanted to visit), and then returning via a southern route. The cross-country drive meant that I took lots of pictures in a 20 different states (an annual record for me) as well as one foreign country. Too many national parks to mention here but I really wish I had been using a decent digital camera then instead of my old camera. I look back at taken maybe a dozen shots at Mount Rushmore vs what I would take today and I just sigh. Image quality for my pictures is variable because these are scans of slides and/or prints at varying quality/resolutions. The Great Pandemic Digitizing Project: When I was first setting up my website in August, 2000, I had decided to digitize some of my favorite pre-digital slides and prints. The scans were fairly low resolution but they were good enough. With COVID forcing me to stay indoors, I decided to rescan ALL of my pre-digital images from multiple sources (slides, prints, and negatives) at a much higher resolution and quality setting. (I digitized Dad's slides at the same time). Instead of replacing my original scans, I added the new scans to existing pages, figuring I'd select the best ones later. As a result, multiple versions of images appear on most of these early pages. At some point, I'll take the time to do a final review and get rid of the duplicates.
