So what did you look like back then????

[Peter E]

Found a couple of old pics

The first picture was in one of the photo booths that were popular in the 1960's. That picture was from 1966 when I was 13 years old.

The second picture was in 1970 when I was 16 years old. The reason for the jacket and tie was that it was my High School yearbook picture.

Phil,
It seems we al played music, by the way, I still do.

This is me this year on the bass in front of my shop.

arnaud

Good on you Arnaud.....you look quite engrossed in whatever your playing
I still play a bit, but only for myself in my studio.

This has been fun seeing my colleagues at different times of their lives. I guess I kind of started this by using an old picture of me in Vietnam for an avatar so I'll add some others.

The first one was taken in Texas in about 1948. I always wanted to be a cowboy
Next shows me with our 1950 Ford in 1957.
Third was taken at Whiteman AFB Missouri in 1964. I was in the Air Police and guarded Neuclear weapons.
Fourth was taken unexpectedly by my uncle at the Ohio Gun Collectors show in about 1977. I have only had a beard twice in my life. The other time when I was on an undercover assignement in law enforcement.

Hey Ron- You look like Marty Robbins in the 1990 pic- could explain your musical virtuosity.

Arnaud- good to see another bass playing engraver! ...and a Bob Dylan look at 17!

Roger- You look rather formidable in your Air Force Police uniform...thanks for serving.

 

[Arnaud Van Tilburgh]

Fred, so you are another bass playing engraver. I thought Sam was also a bass player? Isn't it?

Perhaps we can do a poll to see who didn't play the bass.

[Fred Bowen]

Arnaud, Sam's forte is the banjo, but he is also good on guitar and can certainly play bass when the need arises. Check out his website for some pictures of Sam & the band from (dare I say?) decades ago. He is a man of many creative talents.
My guess is that there are a lot of engravers who can play bass, but I don't know how many would admit it. There are times when I have had to carry the bass around that I wished I had learned to play the flute.

I found these old photos of me holding a large hammer and chisel from the 1960's, me in the Marine Corps 1968 and playing my drums that came from the Perry Como show... 1964.

 

[Tim Wells]

Well, way back in 1975 this is a picture of me and my favorite Morgan horse. He was 21 and I was umm older than he was.

[Arnaud Van Tilburgh]

Yes Mario, it was the early 70 ties :yes

What a neat idea for a thread, I thoroughly enjoyed looking at everybody's pictures.

This is the only picture I have of myself except drivers license photo, could not get scanner to pick it up.

Picture taken about 1966 while I was working as second officer (Engineer) for Flying Tiger Airline.

This post looks like fun so here goes.
#1. Had black hair in 1962.
#2. I'm on #14 Estaval. Going down to the start on at Fontwell Park, Sussex, England

#3. Steeplechase race, Worcester, England 1948. Up on Flying Pal.
He's the good looking one closest to the camera.

Years Back

This is a very intrusting thread, seeing it is not about engravimg I feel I can enter in, as I am not an engraver but a knife maker that should have done some engraving, not sure of the year 1953-54-55 the bike on the left is a triumph tr 6 650 cc the other is a triumph trophy 500 cc. I was racing cycles and doing custom cars at the time. I am amazed at the people that started engraving at a young age and stayed with it. A great thing.

 

[SamW]

Took a while to get this out of the National Archives...contemplating my first engraving. Took a few years! TOS

 

[Glenn]

Hey Sam,
Is that your gravermeister in the buggy with you?

 

[fegarex]

Glenn,
It can't be a gravermeister because I think Sam is in the back of a stage coach......
There wasn't electricity then!
Sorry Sam!
