Description of Pictures: Bob Dole was a captain with the 10th Mountain Division in Italy, and was twice wounded in combat. He served as a U.S. Representative from Kansas from 1961 to 1969 and as a U.S. Senator until 1996. His terms as both Senate Minority Leader and Senate Majority Leader set a record as the nation’s longest serving Republican leader. He was the Republican candidate for Vice-President in 1976 and for President in 1996. As National Chairman, Senator Dole led the fund-raising campaign for the National World War II Memorial.

George McGovern flew 35 combat missions as a B-24 bomber pilot in Europe, earning the Distinguished Flying Cross. Following the war, he served as a Professor of History and Government at Dakota Wesleyan University, and as a U.S. Senator from South Dakota from 1963 to 1981. In 1972, he was the Democratic nominee for U.S. President. Following his career in the Senate, he has served as the president of the Middle East Policy Council, and as Ambassador to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization in Rome, among other positions.

Marc Pachter has been director of the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery since July 2000. He has also served as the Smithsonian’s deputy assistant secretary for external affairs and as counselor to the Secretary of the Smithsonian. He is a member of the Board of the National D-Day Museum and chaired the 150th anniversary celebration of the Smithsonian Institution in 1996.

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.
