Description of Pictures: The Two Bobs: Dole Speaks with Edwards: Recognized as one of the most prominent and respected political figures of our time, Bob Dole served as Republican leader of the United States Senate for 12 years, ran as the vice presidential nominee with Gerald Ford in 1976, and was the 1996 Republican nominee for President. Raised on the plains of western Kansas, he served with distinction in World War II, as a platoon leader with the legendary 10th Mountain Division in Italy. He was awarded two Purple Hearts and a Bronze Star with Oak Leaf Cluster. His many other honors include the Presidential Medal of Freedom. His advocacy on behalf of Americans with disabilities, his mastery of foreign affairs, and his long years of service to our country have earned him wide acclaim.
On this special evening, Senator Dole shares his legendary World War II story—a personal odyssey of tremendous courage, sacrifice, and faith—with Bob Edwards, host of XM Satellite Radio’s Bob Edwards Show.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

2. 2BOBS_050414_367.JPG: Seen here at a Smithsonian Associates event back in 2005 with someone who no longer wears striped shirts, former Senator Bob Dole passed on December 5, 2021. Wounded in World War II, he went on to become a US Senator from Kansas (1969 to 1996) as well as the Republican nominee for Vice President (1976) and President (1996). Despite his patriotism, he supported Trump in both 2016 and 2020, although acknowledging that Trump had lost the 2020 election.
Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.

2005 photos: Trips this year: Florida (for Lotusphere), a driving trip down south (seeing sites in North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, and Georgia), Williamsburg, and Chicago. Equipment this year: I used four cameras -- two Fujifilm S7000 cameras (which were plagued by dust inside the lens), a new Fujifilm S5200 (nice but not great and I hated the proprietary xD memory chips), and a Canon PowerShot S1 IS (returned because it felt flimsy to me). I gave my Epson camera to my catsitter. Both of the S7000s were in for repairs over Christmas. Number of photos taken this year: 147,000.
