Smitty: I can assure you that there were two "Old Timers" at the 2008 NCVA reunion in St. Louis who were totally familiar with digital cameras. Bob Maytum - (USN 1951-1955), and myself (USN 1950-1962). We did our best to avoid photographing the usual people who seem to always be posted. Bob and I took great pains to get names of everyone, including those in group photos. Three days after the reunion I offered to send them to Rob Rude for posting on the NCVA website, but Rob turned them down because I had embedded names and a special 30th anniversary logo at the bottom of each photo. As a matter of fact, at first Bob Payne refused to publish them in the CLOG for the same reason, but eventually Bob Payne did publish a few in the Fall 2008 issue of the CLOG. At that point I decided that the very best place to post those 68 photos is right here on Joe's outstanding website, where they should have been sent in the first place. Along with the photos, I also took movie clips of the Presentation of Colors, The Three Bell Ceremony and the Invocation. Here is a direct link to all those photos and clips:
