Great photos! I miss the old days.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff.
ReplyDeleteNice pics, and a great time was had by all, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea Goble attended one of these. Is that Sandi with you?
ReplyDeleteNice selection, and to my knowledge, only three deceased (that is, alas, the chief problem viewing photos of this vintage). The blonde in the last photo is Carolyn McFarland, at the time consorting with Bruce Taylor.
ReplyDeleteI forgot to note that Anonymous above is Art Scott himself, once the Avedon, Steichen, Weegee, and Flash Casey of the paperback set.
ReplyDeleteA.S.
I count three, too, Art, but haven't seen the Cap'n in a while. Is he still kicking?
ReplyDeleteAlive, but not kicking. I hurt my foot eight days ago and still have a hitch in my gitalong.
ReplyDeleteBill and Lance are gone. Who's #3?
ReplyDeleteNever mind, I didn't notice Blackbeard's name. Is Jim of Jim and Ellie still around? He's in the background of one shot.
ReplyDeleteJim is not in the best of health, but he's still with us.
