SDCCA_090724_075.JPG: June Foray
SDCCA_090724_079.JPG: June Foray, in a crappy photo I took back in 2009, passed on July 26, 2017 just two months shy of her 100th birthday. June was the voice of Rocky the Flying Squirrel as well as Natasha on the Rocky and Bullwinkle show as well as innumerable characters on hundreds of other shows. One I especially remember was her as the voice of the Talking Tina doll on a spooky episode of the Twilight Zone which starred an abusiveTelly Savalas. ("Hello. My name is Talking Tina and I'm going to kill you.")
Rocky: Hey Bullwinkle, we're in real trouble now!
Bullwinkle: Oh good, Rocky! I hate that artificial kind!

SDCCA_090726_002.JPG: Actress Margot Kidder (on the right, hugging a fan for a photo at San Diego Comic-Con back in 2009), passed on May 13, 2018. She was best known for her role as Lois Lane opposite Christopher Reeve in the 1978 "Superman" movie. I had seen her at the premier of the "Mississippi Burning" movie back in 1988 (she wasn't in the movie but Gene Hackman had been in both of them). In case you're keeping track, of the major leads in the "Superman" film, two (Gene Hackman, Ned Beatty) are still around. Marlon Brando, Christopher Reeve, Margot, Jackie Cooper, Glenn Ford, Trevor Howard have all passed.

2009 photos: Equipment this year: I mostly used the Fuji S100fs. I've also got a Nikon D90 and a newer Fuji -- the S200EHX -- both of which are nice but I still prefer the flexibility of the Fuji.
Trips this year:
Niagara Falls, NY,
New York City,
Civil War Trust conferences in Gettysburg, PA and Springfield, IL, and
my 4th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including Los Angeles, Yosemite, Death Valley, Kings Canyon, Joshua Tree, etc).
Ego strokes: I had a picture of a Lincoln-Obama cupcake sculpture published in Civil War Times and WUSA-9, the local CBS affiliate, ran a quick piece on me. A picture that I took at the annual Abraham Lincoln Symposium appeared in the National Archives' "Prologue" magazine. I became a volunteer with the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
Number of photos taken this year: 417,000.
