Photo Album

These photographs were among many intermittently given to me, in a rather offhand and random way, by George Simpson or Anne Roe Simpson without any indication of the photographer or original owner. Hence, I cannot provide photo credits as normally required. Even though the quality of the photographs varies greatly I believe they do provide an interesting visual record, however imperfect and incomplete.
