What editors do. . .


After repeated unsuccessful attempts, this is the photograph that Kathleen was finally able to make and submit to the newspapers for Stan's retirement story. It is nicely framed and shows what patience and repetition can achieve under difficult circumstances, given the subject matter. Unfortunately, when editors received this beautiful work, they cropped and slashed it beyond all recognition. That is what editors do. So we present the photograph here in its original four-column format, before it received its professional beating.
