And the Winner is . . .

I would like to thank everyone who left a comment on the photo. Some of those comments had me laughing out loud! To select the winner, I assigned a number to each person who left a comment. (The first person was assigned #1, the second person was assigned #2, etc.) Then, I used a random number generator to select the number.

The winner is <drum roll, please>  TIPPER!   Congratulations!  
(Tipper, just send me an email with your mailing address)

I will have occasional contests in the future, so stayed tuned for your next chance to win!

 

 

 

 

The photo was taken by Rob Gibson at The Kemp's Ford Schoolhouse (ca. 1860) which was moved to Virginia's Explore Park from Franklin County, Virginia.  I have to admit that I cannot remember the year of the photo, but I believe it was in the late 1990s.  That is me on the far left.  The other folks were my co-workers:  Dave, Rick, Shannon, Bill, Eddie, Barbara, and Kris.  Rob Gibson used 19th century equipment and techniques for this photo.  The original of this photo is printed on a glass plate. Be sure to visit his website to learn more.
