Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
SIPRCO_041115_13.JPG: This was one of the magnifying stations used to identify the Cuban missiles during that crisis.
SIPRCO_041115_25.JPG: The biggest part of the exhibit is this Huey helicopter
SIPRCO_041115_48.JPG: The wall of TV screens simulates home life during the Vietnam War era as citizens watched with concern as the war spiraled out of control.
SIPRCO_041129_02.JPG: The Huey helicopter is the biggest artifact in the display
SIPRCO_041129_07.JPG: Since the public perception of the Vietnam War tended to revolve around television coverage, they decided to discuss it as a wall of televisions with a (heavily encased) sofa in front.
SIPRCO_041129_18.JPG: U-2's and photographic examining equipment were important in the Cuban Missile Crisis events of 1962.

2004 photos: Equipment this year: I bought two Fujifilm S7000 digital cameras. While they produced excellent images, I found all of the retractable-lens Fuji models had a disturbing tendency to get dust inside the lens. Dark blurs would show up on the images and the camera had to be sent back to the shop in order to get it fixed. I returned one of the cameras when the blurs showed up in the first month. I found myself buying extended warranties on cameras.
Trips this year: (1) Margot and I went off to Scotland for a few days, my first time overseas. (2) I went to Hawaii on business (such a deal!) and extended it, spending a week in Hawaii and another in California. (3) I went to Tennessee to man a booth and extended it to go to my third Fan Fair country music festival.
Number of photos taken this year: 110,000.
