You just have to love the pic of the high diver.
I hope he survived.

Presuming he's diving into water -- it's possible. A year or two ago we had a suicide jumper survive a fall at least twice as high into water from a Seattle bridge.

You can't see any sign of a water tank in the background.
It must be very shallow or he's diving into the ground (OUCH!).

Great pix! Are you saving them on a CD before they fade too much?

Yeah, I'm saving them to disc right now but will put them on CD when I'm finished. I still have quite a few pics to go. Including some more Buffalo Bill pictures that turned up later in the pile.

"Including some more Buffalo Bill pictures that turned up later in the pile."
Years ago, when I was working at Auburn Prison (New York State), I spent some time in the I.D. office learning the job. The guy who was training me showed me some old glass negatives and prints of the Buffalo Bill show that had been to the prison. I wish now I'd made copies of those prints. I have no idea whatever happened to the glass negatives. They could still be stuck in the same file cabinet they were in, in 1983.

I plan on putting them on CD. I suppose I could make copies. I would enjoy sharing them.

Hey!
My Stepdad found them, I am borrowing them for a while.
I have about a dozen more to scan. I'm going to put them on my personal website soon.
