Deze klok heeft decenia lang in het kantoor van Lunteren gehangen.
Hij is helaas net nadat ik gestopt was bij de post weg gehaald door de nieuwe baas...

After bringing his Scoot in to the bumping post one final time, CNW veteran engineer Bruce Prather (left) pulled the pin after 47 years. Standing with Bruce is Roger W., another CNW vet who retired a few years ago and came down to wish Bruce well.
Bruce was my first instructor way back in 97. My first train was a blocked like Sh**, 147 car, 7800 ft long PRCB. After tying on, Bruce looked over and asked "Have you been paying attention from that side the last three years?" I said yes and he replied "Well I guess we will find out." He got up and into the seat I went. I managed to wheel that thing to Iowa without tearing it up or knocking Bruce or the Conductor out of their seats. Many more stories besides this one. Another "Old School" Hogger gone from the roster. Congrats Bruce. You have earned it.

One of the two small lakes on the remote side of the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Management Area in Oklahoma. I saw a photo from this vantage point on a photography book I purchased a few weeks ago by photographer Michael Hardeman. I was inspired to give it a try. It's only a short 3 and a half hour drive from Dallas and my Thursday afternoon was slow.

Post Head Shaving in Nakhon Nayok, Thailand. Men travel to pray at several favorite local shrines after having their heads shaved. They are escorted by family and friends.
The recent assignment I was working on for Photoshop Artistry was from Module 3 Typography. It taught many ways to use the tools and walk around fast and easy in Photoshop. This is my rendition of DeGrazia's studio in Tucson, AZ trying to complete a vintage postcard of the beautiful architecture and still follow the assignment.
I liked the textures so I got my camera out. It was one of those strategically placed alleyway posts that prevent cars from backing into shop entrances (and this one had clearly done its job, more than once). Someone gave me that "you camera people are completely nuts" look as they drove past. Heh. :) 29/365.

Early life
Joynt was born at Elsternwick, Melbourne and educated at The Grange Preparatory School and later Melbourne Church of England Grammar School. After working in a number of office jobs in Melbourne, in 1909 he sailed to Rockhampton and worked as a farm labourer in North Queensland, the Victorian Mallee, Western Australia and Flinders Island.
First World War
He enlisted in the A.I.F. on 21 May 1915, was commissioned on 24 December 1915, and arrived in France in May 1916. He fought in France until August 1918, where he was commended in divisional orders, shot in the shoulder, and promoted to lieutenant.
On 23 August 1918, he was 29 years old, and a lieutenant in the 8th (Victorian) Battalion, Australian Imperial Force during the First World War, when the following events occurred.
Lieutenant Joynt took charge when his company commander had been killed. When the leading battalion had been demoralized by heavy casualties, he rushed forward and reorganized the remnants of the battalion. Having discovered that heavy fire on the flanks was causing delay and casualties, he led a frontal bayonet attack on the wood, capturing it and over eighty prisoners, thus saving a critical situation. Later, at Plateau Wood, after severe hand-to-hand fighting, he turned a stubborn defence into an abject surrender.
He was subsequently badly wounded by a shell on 26 August and evacuated to England. He was promoted to captain in October 1918, and posted to AIF Headquarters in London in March 1919. He returned to Melbourne in February 1920, and was discharged on 11 June.
Inter-bellum
Having studied agriculture and sheep-breeding in England in 1919, in 1920 Joynt became a soldier settler, dairy farming near Berwick. By 1929 he was pursuing business interests in Melbourne, where he was a pioneer of colour printing in Australia. About 1920 he had formed Queen City Printers Pty Ltd,[1] and subsequently formed Colarts Studios Pty Ltd and bought the rights to a German colour-printing process. Under various business names, Joynt remained a printer and publisher for over sixty years.
He married Edith Amy Garrett, a trained nurse, in a civil ceremony at Hawthorn on 19 March 1932, his forty-third birthday.
Joynt was one of a number of ex-servicemen who in 1923 founded the Legacy Club of Melbourne, the first of fifty Legacy Clubs. He helped lead the club’s successful campaign to have Melbourne’s Shrine of Remembrance built in its present form on its present site. He was active in the Militia in 1926-33, being promoted to major in February 1930.
Second World War
Joynt was mobilised on 26 September 1939 and placed in command of the at Fort Queenscliff and subsequently Puckapunyal. From June 1942 he was camp staff officer then quartermaster at Seymour camp.
Having passed his 55th birthday, he was placed on the Retired List as an honorary lieutenant colonel on 10 October 1944.
Post war
Joynt and his wife rented, then bought, Tom Roberts’ old home, Talisman, at Kallista and lived there until they built their own home nearby.
Joynt wrote three books:
To Russia and back through Communist Countries, Lothian Publishing, 1971[2] - travel through the Soviet Union
Saving the Channel Ports 1918, Wren Publishing 1975[3] - a regimental history of the 8th Battalion
Breaking the Road for the Rest, Hyland House, 1979[4] - autobiography
His wife Edith died in 1978. The last surviving of Australia’s World War I VC recipients, he died on 5 May 1986 at Windsor and was buried with full military honours in Brighton Cemetery. He had no children.
