Many, many thanks to all who have donated to Al Stephenson’s medical expenses for his son, Will. He is deeply grateful. Treatment continues.  You can still make a donation, if you’d like, just let Heidi know and she will provide contact information.
 
Speaking of Heidi, she says thanks for your continued thoughts  and get-well wishes as she continues to recover from her car accident a few weeks ago.  She may be facing neck surgery and still needs help at the computer and desk, so her responses to you may take a bit longer than usual.  Thanks for your patience.  She says she hopes to be at the Hill party and celebrate the start of WHNPA’s 90th Anniversary year!

called his ‘ladies’.

Cal Marlin passed away recently at the age of 80. Some remembrances from his friends are posted on the WHNPA’s web site in the ” in memoriam ” section.  “Cal was an old school news cameraman, a film guy, a no-nonsense, pugnacious,irascible, sometime belligerent, sometime charmer who could always bully or sweet talk his way into position to get the shot.” (READ MORE)
