ELC Retrospective – Important correspondence with The White House.

This letter now on file at the Eat Lake City Historical Society, Seattle, Wash.

ELC Retrospective – The short happy career of an eastern bloc news reporter.

I posed for this photo more or less 10 years ago.

Whenever I see it, I always say to myself, “You are so Poland ‘81.”
