JOHN'S PHOTOS FOR THE WEEK

For my photos this week, more photos from the late Bill Walsh.

I am always looking for photos of old Stoneham (Mass) apparatus, incidents or members for my personal collection if anyone can help. A digital scan is perfectly fine, I don't need an original as long as the scan is big enough to print out. I also can scan photos, slides and negatives and then give them back to you if that is easier. CLICK FOR EMAIL.


More photos taken at Boston's South Station in June of 1982.
