Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. CEM_041126_006.JPG: Theodore Roosevelt and his second wife Edith Kermit are buried here
2. CEM_041126_031.JPG: I thought the bars around his gravesite were interesting. Apparently there had been problems that necessitated basically a barb wire gate.
3. CEM_041126_044.JPG: This guy, Nick LaBella, was the caretaker for the cemetery. He was an animated fellow who called himself the "superintendent" of it, showed us around to all of the gravesites, and handed out literature including reproductions of drawings that he even signed.
4. CEM_041126_097.JPG: William Eldred Jackson was the son of Robert Jackson, a Supreme Court justice. He helped his dad's work on the Nuremburg trials.
5. CEM_041126_103.JPG: Kermit, once of Teddy's children, is buried in Alaska so this is just a marker for him. He was an alcoholic who suffered from depression and eventually committed suicide.
6. CEM_041126_108.JPG: Archibald Bulloch Roosevelt Jr is Teddy's grandson. He was important in Army intelligence and the CIA.
7. CEM_041126_111.JPG: Dirck Roosevelt, Kermit's kid and Teddy's grandson, died fairly young
8. CEM_041126_117.JPG: From http://www.theodoreroosevelt.org/life/familytree/Archie.htm: Born 9 April 1893, Archibald Bulloch Roosevelt graduated from Harvard in June of 1916 and found his first employment at the Bigelow Carpet Company, Thompsonville, Connecticut. After being wounded and earning the Croix de Guerre while serving with the US Army in World War I, Archie became, for a time, an executive with the Sinclair Oil Company and thereafter held various positions with the family investment firm, Roosevelt & Son. Archie was wounded once more and earned the Silver Star with Oak Leaf Clusters while serving as a Lt. Colonel with the US Army in the Pacific Theater during World War II. Thereafter he co-founded the investment firm Roosevelt and Cross, a highly-successful brokerage house specializing in municipal bonds. Archie married Grace Lockwood, of Boston, on 14 April 1917. The couple spent most of their married life in a pre-Revolutionary house on Turkey Lane in Cold Spring Harbor, NY, not far from Oyster Bay, where they raised four children. Grace Lockwood Roosevelt died in an automobile crash near her home in Cold Spring Harbor in 1971, her husband Archie at the wheel. Archie died eight years later - on 13 October 1979 - of a stroke, at his winter home in Hobe Sound, Florida. He is buried with his wife in the Roosevelt family plot at Youngs Cemetery, Oyster Bay. His tombstone reads: "The old fighting man home from the wars.

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.
