A special thanks to Tyler Horner for sharing your father Bob Horner’s picture of the staff of the T. Earl Ewing Hardware Store of Harrison Street! Tyler added that “the picture was taken between 1963 and 1966. The John Deere lawn tractor in the background was first offered in 1963 and my Dad worked for Ewing as a mechanic in the shop from 1960 until the blizzard of 1966. Pictured on the far right is T. Earl’s nephew and childhood friend, David Watson, along with Mr. Ewing standing next to him. I do not know the names of the other folks in the picture. Since my Dad took the picture with his Yashica camera, he was not in it.” Maybe you can help identify the rest of the staff?

This Talbot Historical Society H. Robins Hollyday Collection photo is not dated and the men holding the beautiful striped bass are also not identified? Can you help identify them? The striped bass minimum is 19 “ and the maximum 24” in Maryland at this time. At least 3 of the Rockfish appear to be way over that length proving the picture was taken at a time when the Chesapeake Bay Striped Bass were thriving better than at the present time.

The beautiful racing Log Canoes in our area have a very large sail area in comparison to the size of their hulls! If a strong gust of wind hits sometimes a capsized log canoe is the result! These unidentified seven men are working to get the sails down and upright the Log Canoe. The photo date and photographer are not identified. The background looks like St. Michaels, Maryland on the Miles River?
