Photo-Blacksmiths?
For years I had a bumper sticker on my car that simply said "READ." This is not exactly funny, but I was startled to encounter George Eastman, founder of Kodak*, agreeing with me in his final hour: ...Of course, that's not as it appears: his dying words weren't the same admonition as my old b...
