Slide Show: Five-fingered maidenhair fern (Adiantum pedatum), Fayette Station, West Virginia, August, 1986.

For levimoore, this was taken by the railroad cutting on the south bank of the New River, near where Fayette Station Road crosses the river at the old trestle bridge. I have such clear memories of those days. It was very wet, but we were doing good science, and the scenic background for the work was a daily wonder. Two months later I had the accident that put me in my wheelchair for the next year. So our journeys have some unusual similarities of occurrence and place. That shared experience makes me full of admiration for your courage and hard work, and full of happiness for the great progress you continue to make every day. I thought I should tell you.

Slide Show: Schooners at the Banana Pier, Norfolk, Virginia, June, 1982.

The tank in the background, painted with “Welcome” and “Bem vindos” signs, was a 500K gallon molasses tank (almost 2 million liters). A year after this photo was taken the tank was dismantled, and its support pillars were incorporated into a pagoda (officially a marine observation tower), built as a gift of friendship between Norfolk and the Taiwan Provincial Government.
