The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration contacted me and requested that they can use one of my images for an article on the drought in South Eastern Colorado. A subject very near and dear to me. While the article focuses on Rocky Ford, Co the image was taken far to the North outside the little town of Keota, CO. This image depicts the start of a sandstorm and within 20 seconds of taking this pic visibility was down to nothing.
I took screenshots of the article for vanity reasons but if you are interested in reading the full article here is the link:

Walking around during Vivid we came across this decorated pair.
They were stepping rythmically across the cobbled streeet, clicking their heels together on completing each step.
The result was remarkably like a clock ticking...

I came across this article in the The Wall Street Journal, with a predominant photo display of my work during a Miami Marlins game, almost by accident. Eventually I would have received the report from the agency.
I have countless tear sheets of published photos and captions in news articles. Somehow this was special. Being the WSJ such a prestigious publication I feel honored to have my photo capture chosen for publication among so many professionals that covered the injury incident of Mike Trout during the game.
This is a screen capture of of a section of the online article.

I was in my local library this morning, admiring the most beautiful book jacket photos. Lo and behold, what did I find that there were not one but TWO photos by my Flickr friends: Denis Tangney Jr and Darrell Godliman! Awesome work, guys!
The Postcard
A postcard that was published by Valentine & Sons Ltd. of Dundee and London. The image is a glossy real photograph.
The card was posted in Glasgow on Wednesday the 7th. January 1959 to:
Mr. & Mrs. H. Johnson,
207, Churchill Road,
Parkstone,
Poole,
Dorset.
The message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"Wed.
Arrived back all right.
Plenty of snow on the
way up but quite mild
here.
Thank you for our cards.
I have a small room but
nice and warm.
There are 22 of us in the
Y.M.C.A. so far.
Will write later.
Arthur".
Eddington
Eddington was a village in Kent, South East England to the south-east of Herne Bay, to the west of Beltinge and to the north of Herne.
It is now a suburb of Herne Bay, in Greenhill and Eddington Ward, one of the five wards of Herne Bay.
Its main landmark for over 100 years until 2010 was Herne Bay Court, a former school which once possessed one of the largest and best-equipped school engineering workshops in England. It later became a Christian conference centre.
Herne Bay Court
Herne Bay Court Evangelical Centre, known locally as Herne Bay Court, was a Herne Bay local landmark from around 1900 to around 2008.
Around 1900, James Thurman bought part of Parsonage Farm at Eddington from Joseph Gore who had leased 165 acres between Herne and the sea at the end of the 19th century. Gore kept the 15-acre field which still exists at the end of Parsonage Road, and kept a herd to supply The Creameries in Herne Bay, but sold up in 1914.
Meanwhile, on the site of the old farmstead Thurman built New College, known locally as Eddington College, as a school in competition with Herne Bay College which at that time occupied numbers 6–8 St George's Terrace, Herne Bay and was run by Captain Eustace Turner.
Both schools were evacuated in World War I, and were requisitioned by the military. Thurman retired, and after the war Eddington College was taken over by Captain Turner who ran it as Herne Bay College until 1939. The college specialised in engineering, and in the 1930's the college possessed one of the largest and best-equipped school engineering workshops in England, and was remarkable for its many engineering examination successes.
However the building and its engineering equipment were requisitioned for the World War II war effort. After the loss of the engineering equipment, the school could not re-open after the war, and the building was sold.
It re-opened in 1949 as Herne Bay Court: a Christian conference centre. By 2006 it had closed, and had been standing empty for several years, with the council discussing development plans.
Between 2007 and 2010 there was a local movement to save or reopen Herne Bay Court. The building is locally listed in respect of its use as army headquarters in World War II. The trees at Herne Bay court are subject to a tree preservation order.
Development of the Site
Developers had hoped to build 117 apartments for people aged over 55 on the former Christian holiday camp at Herne Bay Court in Canterbury Road.
However plans for a £35 million retirement village in Herne Bay were scrapped in June 2017. Bosses at Bethel Retirement Villages pulled the plug on the scheme, with the site expected to be used instead for conventional housing.
If anyone knows the current situation regarding Herne Bay Court, please leave a note. Google satellite view indicates that the grounds have not been built on.
Executions in Cuba
So what else happened on the day that Arthur posted the card?
Well, on the 7th. January 1959, Cuba's new government announced the first executions of former officials of Fulgencio Batista.
Ten officers were executed at Santiago de Cuba, including Col. Arcadio Casillas, who oversaw Santiago.
The same day, the United States recognized the new Cuban government of Fidel Castro.
'It's Only Male Believe'
Also on that day, the Number One chart hit in the UK was 'It's Only Make Believe' by Conway Twitty.
Ben-Hur
The 7th. January 1959 also marked the final day of shooting of the film Ben-Hur.
Ben-Hur is an American religious epic film directed by William Wyler, produced by Sam Zimbalist, and starring Charlton Heston as the title character. A remake of the 1925 silent film with a similar title, it was adapted from Lew Wallace's 1880 novel 'Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ'.
Ben-Hur had the largest budget ($15.175 million), as well as the largest sets built, of any film produced up to that time.
Costume designer Elizabeth Haffenden oversaw a staff of 100 wardrobe fabricators to make the costumes, and a workshop employing 200 artists and workmen provided the hundreds of friezes and statues needed in the film.
Filming commenced on the 18th. May 1958, and wrapped on the 7th. January 1959, with shooting lasting for 12 to 14 hours a day for six days a week. Pre-production began in Italy at Cinecittà around October 1957, and post-production took six months.
Under cinematographer Robert L. Surtees, executives at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer made the decision to produce the film in a widescreen format. Over 200 camels and 2,500 horses were used in the shooting of the film, with some 10,000 extras. The sea battle was filmed using miniatures in a huge tank on the back lot at the MGM Studios in Culver City, California.
The nine-minute chariot race has become one of cinema's most famous action sequences, and the score, composed and conducted by Miklós Rózsa, was at the time the longest ever composed for a film, and was highly influential on cinema in subsequent years.
Following a $14.7 million marketing effort, Ben-Hur premiered at Loew's State Theatre in New York City on the 18th. November 1959. It was the fastest-grossing, as well as the highest-grossing film of 1959, becoming the second highest-grossing film in history at the time, after Gone with the Wind.
Ben-Hur won a record eleven Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director (Wyler), Best Actor in a Leading Role (Heston), Best Actor in a Supporting Role (Griffith), and Best Cinematography – Color (Surtees).
The film also won Golden Globe Awards for Best Motion Picture – Drama, Best Director, and Best Supporting Actor – Motion Picture for Stephen Boyd.
In 1998, the American Film Institute named it the 72nd. best American film and the second best American epic film.
In 2004, the National Film Preservation Board selected Ben-Hur for preservation by the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress for being culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.
The Postcard
A postally unused Sovereign Series postcard. The card was published by Prescott Pickup & Co. Ltd. of Allscott, Telford, Salop, England. On the back of the card they state:
'A series of 60 postcards.
Illustrated souvenir album
£3'.
The series features images of the Royal Wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer on the 29th. July 1981, and also various scenes both prior and subsequent to the event.
The card was printed in England.
The Wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer
The wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer took place on Wednesday 29th. July 1981 at St Paul's Cathedral in London. The groom was the heir to the British throne, and the bride was a member of the Spencer family.
The ceremony was a traditional Church of England wedding service. The Dean of St Paul's Cathedral Alan Webster presided at the service, and the Archbishop of Canterbury Robert Runcie conducted the marriage.
Notable figures in attendance included many members of other royal families, republican heads of state, and members of the bride's and groom's families. After the ceremony, the couple made the traditional appearance on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.
The United Kingdom had a national holiday on that day to mark the wedding. The ceremony featured many ceremonial aspects, including use of the state carriages and roles for the Foot Guards and Household Cavalry.
Their marriage was widely billed as a 'Fairytale Wedding' and the 'Wedding of the Century'. It was watched by an estimated global TV audience of 750 million people.
Events were held around the Commonwealth to mark the wedding. Many street parties were held throughout the United Kingdom to celebrate the occasion.
The couple separated in 1992, and divorced in 1996 after fifteen years of marriage.
The Tragic Death of Diana, Princess of Wales
Diana, Princess of Wales died after a high-speed car crash at the age of 36 on the 31st. August 1997 at the Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris.
When Diana married Charles, she was a naïve yet hopeful young woman seeking true love. But by the time she died, Diana was jaded, bitter, and impossibly scarred by her disastrous marriage and being hounded by the media.
Twenty years after Princess Diana's funeral, people recall the iconic moments, from the sea of flowers and mementos left outside Kensington Palace to the heart-breaking image of Prince William and Prince Harry walking behind their mother's casket.
Diana’s younger brother Charles, the ninth Earl Spencer, held nothing back during his funeral oration. Funeral attendees may have been expecting a tearful remembrance of Diana’s life. Instead, they felt the full brunt of her brother’s fury at those he felt were responsible for her death.
In paying tribute to his sister, the 9th Earl Spencer reportedly angered the Queen and created a rift in the royal family that has only begun to heal in recent years with the births of Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
What Charles Spencer said in Westminster Abbey is as follows:
Charles Spencer's Funeral Speech
'I stand before you today, the representative of a family in grief in a country in mourning before a world in shock.
We are all united not only in our desire to pay our respects to Diana but rather in our need to do so.
For such was her extraordinary appeal that the tens of millions of people taking part in this service all over the world via television and radio who never actually met her, feel that they too lost someone close to them in the early hours of Sunday morning. It is a more remarkable tribute to Diana than I can ever hope to offer her today.
Diana was the very essence of compassion, of duty, of style, of beauty. All over the world she was a symbol of selfless humanity. All over the world, a standard bearer for the rights of the truly downtrodden, a very British girl who transcended nationality. Someone with a natural nobility who was classless and who proved in the last year that she needed no royal title to continue to generate her particular brand of magic.
Today is our chance to say thank you for the way you brightened our lives, even though God granted you but half a life. We will all feel cheated always that you were taken from us so young, and yet we must learn to be grateful that you came along at all. Only now that you are gone do we truly appreciate what we are now without, and we want you to know that life without you is very, very difficult.
We have all despaired at our loss over the past week and only the strength of the message you gave us through your years of giving has afforded us the strength to move forward.
There is a temptation to rush to canonise your memory, there is no need to do so. You stand tall enough as a human being of unique qualities not to need to be seen as a saint. Indeed to sanctify your memory would be to miss out on the very core of your being, your wonderfully mischievous sense of humour with a laugh that bent you double.
Your joy for life transmitted where ever you took your smile and the sparkle in those unforgettable eyes. Your boundless energy which you could barely contain.
But your greatest gift was your intuition, and it was a gift you used wisely. This is what underpinned all your other wonderful attributes and if we look to analyse what it was about you that had such a wide appeal, we find it in your instinctive feel for what was really important in all our lives.
Without your God-given sensitivity we would be immersed in greater ignorance at the anguish of AIDS and H.I.V. sufferers, the plight of the homeless, the isolation of lepers, the random destruction of landmines.
Diana explained to me once that it was her innermost feelings of suffering that made it possible for her to connect with her constituency of the rejected. And here we come to another truth about her. For all the status, the glamour, the applause, Diana remained throughout a very insecure person at heart, almost childlike in her desire to do good for others so she could release herself from deep feelings of unworthiness of which her eating disorders were merely a symptom.
The world sensed this part of her character and cherished her for her vulnerability whilst admiring her for her honesty.
The last time I saw Diana was on July the 1st., her birthday in London, when typically she was not taking time to celebrate her special day with friends but was guest of honour at a special charity fund-raising evening. She sparkled of course, but I would rather cherish the days I spent with her in March when she came to visit me and my children in our home in South Africa. I am proud of the fact apart from when she was on display meeting President Mandela we managed to contrive to stop the ever-present paparazzi from getting a single picture of her -- that meant a lot to her.
These were days I will always treasure. It was as if we had been transported back to our childhood when we spent such an enormous amount of time together -- the two youngest in the family.
Fundamentally she had not changed at all from the big sister who mothered me as a baby, fought with me at school and endured those long train journeys between our parents' homes with me at weekends.
It is a tribute to her level-headedness and strength that despite the most bizarre-like life imaginable after her childhood, she remained intact, true to herself.
There is no doubt that she was looking for a new direction in her life at this time. She talked endlessly of getting away from England, mainly because of the treatment that she received at the hands of the newspapers. I don't think she ever understood why her genuinely good intentions were sneered at by the media, why there appeared to be a permanent quest on their behalf to bring her down. It is baffling. My own and only explanation is that genuine goodness is threatening to those at the opposite end of the moral spectrum. It is a point to remember that of all the ironies about Diana, perhaps the greatest was this -- a girl given the name of the ancient goddess of hunting was, in the end, the most hunted person of the modern age.
She would want us today to pledge ourselves to protecting her beloved boys William and Harry from a similar fate and I do this here Diana on your behalf. We will not allow them to suffer the anguish that used regularly to drive you to tearful despair.
And beyond that, on behalf of your mother and sisters, I pledge that we, your blood family, will do all we can to continue the imaginative and loving way in which you were steering these two exceptional young men so that their souls are not simply immersed by duty and tradition, but can sing openly as you planned.
We fully respect the heritage into which they have both been born and will always respect and encourage them in their royal role. But we, like you, recognise the need for them to experience as many different aspects of life as possible to arm them spiritually and emotionally for the years ahead. I know you would have expected nothing less from us.
William and Harry, we all cared desperately for you today. We are all chewed up with the sadness at the loss of a woman who was not even our mother. How great your suffering is, we cannot even imagine.
I would like to end by thanking God for the small mercies he has shown us at this dreadful time. For taking Diana at her most beautiful and radiant and when she had joy in her private life. Above all we give thanks for the life of a woman I am so proud to be able to call my sister, the unique, the complex, the extraordinary and irreplaceable Diana whose beauty, both internal and external, will never be extinguished from our minds'.

Published in Australian Consular Officials Reveal Dumbest Requests | The Diplomat
Pages from 'The Haworth Water-Wolf and other Yorkshire Stories' by Ian Dewhirst, published by The Ridings Publishing Company in 1967. These pages include 'Keighley War Hospitals' about the roles Morton Banks, Victoria Hospital and Fell Lane Infirmary played during the First World War.
Ian Dewhirst (1936-2019) was an acclaimed local historian. He made an invaluable contribution to preserving, cataloguing and recounting the history of the town. During his life he wrote many articles and books on the town, and gave thousands of talks and tours to various societies and groups, including the History Society. He was born in Keighley in 1936. He went to Keighley Boys’ Grammar School where his talent for poetry flourished and saw various poems published in the school magazine ‘The Keighlian’. He graduated from the University of Manchester in 1958 with a degree in English. He did his National Service as a Sergeant-Instructor in the Royal Army Educational Corps from 1958 to 1960.
He started working at Keighley Library in 1960 and was promoted to Reference Librarian in 1967, a role he fulfilled until retirement in 1991. During that time he wrote ‘A History of Keighley’, published by the Keighley Corporation in 1974, and reprinted several times since. Other publications included ‘The Handloom Weaver and other poems’ (1965), ‘The Haworth Water-Wolf and other Yorkshire stories’ (1967), ‘Scar Top and other poems’ (1968), ‘Gleanings from Victorian Yorkshire’ (1972), ‘Old Keighley in Photographs’ (1972), ‘More Old Keighley in Photographs’ (1973), ‘Gleanings from Edwardian Yorkshire’ (1975), ‘Yorkshire Through the Years’ (1975), ‘The Story of a Nobody: a Working Class Life 1880-1939’ (1980), ‘You Don’t Remember Bananas… A Pennine Half-Century’ (1985), ‘Keighley in Old Picture Postcards’ (1987), ‘Keighley in the 1930s & 40s’ (1989), ‘Victorian Keighley Characters’ (1990), ‘In the Reign of the Peacemaker: Keighley and District in Edwardian Photographs’ (1993), ‘Down Memory Lane’ (1993), ‘A Century of Yorkshire Dialect’ (with Arnold Kellett, 1997), ‘Keighley in the Second World War’ (2005), and ‘Nah Then! A Treasury of Yorkshire Dialect Quotations’ (2010).
Ian began writing the popular ‘Memory Lane’ column for the Keighley News in 1992 and carried on doing so right up until his death. In 1996, he was made an Honorary Doctor of Letters by the University of Bradford. And in February 1999, he was awarded an MBE by the Queen for his services to local history, at a ceremony held at Buckingham Palace. In 2009 he had a Northern Rail 158 diesel train named after him. In 2018, the Dalesman awarded him the W. R. Mitchell Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of his prolific work as a local historian and public speaker.
He spent almost his whole life in Keighley, living in his parents’ former home on Raglan Avenue, off Fell Lane. He served on the Council of the Yorkshire Dialect Society and spent time as secretary of the Friends of Cliffe Castle Museum and Art Gallery. He died on 20th January 2019 and his funeral service was held at Trinity Church, Fell Lane, on 15th February, followed by a private cremation.
The publication was donated to Keighley and District Local History Society by Andrew Jackson in December 2020. It is held in the History Society's physical archive.
