Here are some more of those pictures Rachel scanned and sent to me. Of the pictures that we know who's in them, they all seem to be Grandma Kathleen's family. I'd assume that someone from her family took these, and most people in the pictures are either related to her through family or through friendship with her family.
What an awesome picture! Rachel thinks that Becky has a kindred spirit among our kin. :) I do, too!
Now here's the big question: Is it a lunar or a solar eclipse?
I have no idea who this is, but I thought it was an amazing picture.
I don't know who this is, either, but someone looks like a Don Juan--what a pose!
I don't know if it's a lunar or solar eclipse. The foreground looks mighty dark, so it might be lunar, but I really don't know. It is really cool.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a lunar eclipse--you can see little bitty specks of white all over the sky, like stars, and like you said, the foreground is really dark.
DeleteI love it! What a photo.
ReplyDeleteThe family was definitely interested in astronomy, as shown in this news clip from 1985, referencing when Karl Henize was just 6 or 7 years old (1932). In the article, he is quoted saying "Being in the astronaut business was so much in my blood that I didn't want to get out."
ReplyDeleteHe also remembered "a homemade telescope ('a spectacle eyepiece, a funnel and a cardboard tube')"
