Bob Lawson bobhudlawson@Gmail.com Mickey…Please excuse this method of getting my message to you, but this was my only access to your address. I have a wealth of old Photographers Mate (remember them?) training manuals, one dated 1918. Would the association be interested in my donating them? If not, and any other individual would want them they would be for sale or donation, depending on their use. Bob Lawson PHCS(AC) USN(Ret) 1418. E Sonoma Cortile Washington UT 84780 (435) 680-9812 This comment came in from Bob Lawson. NANP does not have an archive area but is there anyone who would like these? Is there any need for these in Pensacola at the display in Building 1600?
