In the early 50's DeGrazia started working on ceramics. This is when he perfected his copper-based glaze. NBC studios recorded a newsreel, called 'Watch the World,' where they filmed DeGrazia and Marion making these ceramics. He used original molds and his inspirations were taken from desert shapes and colors. Happy Throwback Thursday!
Neither of these are around anymore. Date taken is bogus; that's about when I scanned the slide mount.
A photo (above) taken March 3, by Pentagram staff writer Damien Salas depicts the present landscape of Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall at its north post, known as Henry Gate named after Medal of Honor recipient Maj. Gen. Guy V. Henry, who commanded Troop K, 9th Cavalry at Fort Myer in 1891. Originally reported by staff writer Julia LeDoux, the gate closed in February of 2013 when a congressional mandate established in response to the terror attacks on
Sept. 11, 2001, was reinstated prohibiting the use of contract security guards at military installations. That forced the base to employ only military police officers and Department of the Army security guards, who are federal civilian employees, reducing the work force available to monitor gate traffic.
The gate was actively used in the 1960s, as pictured in the black and white image at the top (taken March 3, 1966. The photo is by “SP-5 Austin T. White, MDW SIGN SPT Unit,” and shows the same landscape as the March 3 image, taken just across Route 50/Arlington Blvd.

Designed and built by the artist, DeGrazia Gallery in the Sun is considered by many to be his masterpiece. As Marion said, “DeGrazia had a vision. He knew exactly what he was doing… When it was ready, we opened the door and the people kept flooding in.” That was in 1965, and people from around the world continue to visit the legendary landmark of art and architecture. The site is on the National Register of Historic Places and is included in National Geographic’s Geotourism MapGuide to the Sonoran Desert. Happy Throwback Thursday!
I've actually toned down my pop drinking (yes, I'm from the midwest, it's pop) as of the last few years but I usually keep some at home. Over New Years, Tim brought over a case of the limited edition "Throwback" Mountain Dew. Now, I'm not a big fan of MD, but personally think it tastes better with real sugar.
