This is a strange and funny picture! It's something photographers do when they are out on assignment working with a writer. This is my friend Chapin Day at Theodore Roosevelt's grave in Oyster Bay. I think I took it maybe in 1972. It is raining, I have no idea what we were doing there. Chapin was a good friend - he was a sailor and we spent some time sailing my Lightning class boat together. He was a Thistle class sailor. He left Newsday and then went to the Philadelphia Inquirer for a few years, then he went back to his home, California where he worked in television. I called him the other day and we had a nice long talke and he said he found this photograph and sent it to me. I have no recollection at all of taking this photograph! Here is a close-up version!

This photo made me laugh! You look like a "mobster" with a gun hidden under your coat :-) It was great that your friend sent the photo. betsey
What a wonderful found treasure! I thought you looked like a young detective LOL. How nice that you have maintained contact with Chapin for all these years. I am so happy he sent this photo to you.
