Annie Downs Clark is in the center - just left of doorway. The sign on the building announcing “Beautiful Stereopticon Views” does not refer to stereograph or stereoscopic views, viewed through a viewer held in one’s hand. "Beautiful Stereopticon Views" - "The word "stereopticon" is frequently confused with "stereograph" and "stereoscope," but has nothing to do with either. The "Stereopticon" was a single lensed device to project lantern slides - transparent pictures on glass used for public lectures - we know it as a "slide show" in the Kodachrome era. The powerful light to project the image was generated by the same type of gas as miners used for their lamps. The event being advertised was an educational event probably showing slides of exotic places that most people from Southwest Harbor would never see except in pictures." - Weston J. Naef - August 2008.

  • Washington DC
Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh are standing at the side of Lockheed Vega Model 5 Executive NC395H airplane while stopping at Bolling Field, Washington, D.C. en route to South America. The five-place monoplane was manufactured during August 1929 by Lockheed Aircraft Corporation, Burbank, California. It left the factory with a Pratt & Whitney Wasp B engine (S/N 1815) of 450 HP. The aircraft was loaned to Col. Lindbergh by Morgan Belmont (1892–1953), the son of August Belmont Jr. who built the Belmont Park Racetrack in New York, for Lindbergh’s 7000 mile South American trip. The Lindberghs took off from Bolling Field, the first stop on their trip (which had begun at Roosevelt Field on Long Island) on September 18, 1929. The Lockheed Vega model was designed by John Knudsen Northrop (1895-1981) and Gerard Freebairn Vultee (1900-1938) and manufactured by Lockheed Aircraft Limited and first flown on July 4, 1927. Lockheed delivered the Vega 5 in 1929."

  • Ellsworth ME
"Charles E. ""Charlie"" Wakefield (1908-1986) was born and died in Cherryfield, the ""Blueberry Capital of the World,"" a town in Washington County, Maine, on the Narraguagus River. Charlie played his saxophone at many Mount Desert Island celebrations of his time and was the author of ""Trademark: Music - A Treasury of Downeast Maine Musical History"" - 1978. The Charles Wakefield Memorial Bandstand in Bandstand Park on Main Street next to the Legion Hall in the Cherryfield Historic District is named in his honor. The NRHP number for the Cherryfield Historic District - site of the bandstand is 90001467. ""Without a doubt, Charlie [Wakefield] is the most versitile [Sic] musician I have ever worked with. Many musicians play several instruments but never really excell in any one. This was never the case with Charlie. I used to get the biggest kick out of calling him to play a job, he would always ask me what chair I wanted him to work, sax, trombone, piano or just name it and Charlie could handle it. If we were playing a combo job he always brought a couple extra instruments along just in case, maybe the valve trombone or the soprano sax. I remember many times I have been asked what instrument Charlie played, all I could say, he plays them all.."" - ""Memoirs of a Dance Band"" by Charlie [Charles H.] Bennett. Privately printed, p. 73-75. This is just a small part of what Charlie Bennett says in his pamphlet about Charlie Wakefield."
