Our friend Bill Stewart will be giving a presentation at the upcoming conference on railroad art and photography in Lake Forest. He writes:
I thought I should check to see if you are all aware of the upcoming 2015
"Conversations" program of the Center for Railroad Photography & Art, to be
held April 10-12 at Lake Forest College, Lake Forest, IL. Please see the
attached PDF for program details. I'll be presenting a program on the John
Barriger-Howard Fogg artistic alliance during the postwar modernization of the
Monon, and there are many other compelling presentations on the agenda --
including one by noted photographer J. Parker Lamb, who roamed Illinois and
Indiana railroads with camera in hand during his student days at the University
of Illinois in the 1950s.
For conference details, visit the link
below. Director Scott Lothes tells me he needs to give a final head count to
the caterer by Friday, so . . . tempus
fugit!
Bill
