Uncle Ted

I participated in Wreaths Across America this morning; under that program, some 247,000 wreaths were laid at the graves of Arlington Cemetery today. I arrived early enough that I got to place the wreath at the grave of my great-uncle, Conrad ("Ted") whose gravestone is shown here, in line with the tree trunk. I never knew him personally; in the week before the Army-Navy football game earlier this month, ridiculously rampant team spirit in the office demanded I choose sides (never followed the game before.) That prompted me to search for information on Ted's naval service... I learned he was at Pearl Harbor during the attack... I then discovered, and have now connected with, his daughter; a first-cousin once-removed I simply never knew existed!

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
The following truth is one of the core philosophies of BetterPhoto:
I hear, I forget.
I see, I remember.
I do, I understand.
