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.

- Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
- XMILE_120427_01.JPG: George Edmund Haynes (1880-1960)
Ruth Standish Baldwin (1863-1934)
Recognizing the need for a national infrastructure to support the black urban population through employment, education and advocacy, Ruth Standish Baldwin and Dr. George E. Haynes founded the National Urban League in 1910. The urban league movement is compelling evidence of the power of finding common ground for common good: A stepping stone toward economic self-reliance and civil rights.
"We should expect each individual to be treated on the basis of his worth and conduct rather than on his color."
-- Dr. George E. Haynes
- XMILE_120427_06.JPG: Ethel Percy Andrus (1884-1967):
Dr. Ethel Percy Andrus, a retired educator, founded AARP in 1958 to promote her philosophy of productive aging. She influenced the marketplace to develop innovative solutions for social needs. Today, her organization promotes independence, dignity and purpose for those age 50 and older, helps people live their best lives, and encourages everyone "to serve and not to be served."
"What we do, we do for all."
- Wikipedia Description: The Extra Mile
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Extra Mile - Points of Light Volunteer Pathway is a national monument installed in the sidewalks of Washington D.C.. It is located along 15th Street and G Street. The honorees of the monument are people who "through their caring and personal sacrifice, reached out to others, building their dreams into movements that helped people across America and throughout the world". Each honoree has a custom-made bronze medallion installed along the path. It currently has 20 such monuments, but there are plans to extend it down to 11th Street and back up F Street so it forms a mile-long pathway of 70 medallions. The monument was dedicated on October 14, 2005 in a ceremony attended by George H.W. Bush and Laura Bush.
