."At the Wall on a Misty Day"
I took this picture as a self assignment in a photo class.
I had never visited the Wall before and I set my camera at the apex to
capture the Washington Monument at the converging lines formed by
the Wall and the sidewalk. Just as I was about to take the picture, the lone
visitor appeared at the point of convergence. As I was preparing to leave, I
turned to the left and there on the first panel of the Wall I saw Riggins, Havemann, Bain and LaFlemme,
as well as Sgt James Bailey. Yes, all the guys from 64-65 are right there. It still gives me a chill when I think about it.
