Amazing book flyleaf




This is front and back book flyleaf from New Masters Pictorial Encyclopedia Volume II. Published in the US, apparently in 1955. Is there a flyleaf more amazing than this?

Photographer Ron Cooper of Salem, Oregon, US, 5/11/2017


In May 2016, the Mid-Valley Oral Maxillofacial & Implant Surgery office of Salem oral/maxillofacial surgeon David Swiderski, D.D.S, M.D., was destroyed by fire.

The office is home to the largest collection in the city of printed on aluminum photos by Salem photographer Ron Cooper.
"Printing on an aluminum sheet is a relatively new imaging technology, and, produces the finest, most detailed and sharpest photographic print I have ever been able to obtain. The right print on aluminum plate is breathtakingly beautiful," Cooper said. 

Most of Cooper's original prints were saved from the fire. Along with new additions they are on display in the recently rebuilt office.
During a mid-May 2017 office reopening event the photos and rebuilt office were celebrated and Cooper, Swiderski and staff were applauded.

Among those attending was Gerry Lewin, now 82. In the "old days," Lewin and Cooper, now 75, were friendly Salem daily newspaper photographer rivals. Lewin shot for the afternoon Capital Journal and Cooper for the morning Oregon Statesman.

Catering for the event was Wild Pear.

Robert Earley Marsh, birth name Robert Francis Marsh




Robert Earley Marsh, was born, Feb. 28, 1907, in Bellingham (Whatcom County), Washington. 

(His birth name was Robert Francis Marsh. At some point, perhaps as a young adult, he changed his middle name.)

He graduated from Lincoln High School in Portland, Oregon, on on June 15, 1926. He was a member of Grant’s first graduating class.

On June 5, 1934, he graduated with a doctor of dental medicine degree from North Pacific Dental College in Portland, Oregon. North Pacific is now the School of Dentistry of the Oregon Health & Science University in Portland.

Prior to starting dental school he earned money to help pay dental school tuition by fighting forest fires for the U.S. Forest Service in north central Idaho’s Selway National Forest.

Later, between dental school terms, he fought fires in the Salmon National Forest in central Idaho’s mountains. This photo is apparently of him as a firefighter.

Since his father, John Joseph Marsh, was a Bellingham fire chief and firefighter, he had personal satisfaction working in the forests.
After graduating from dental college he had dental practices on the Oregon coast before going to work for the Civilian Conservation Corps, serving as a dentist in CCC camps in southern Oregon and north California. Later, he became a dentist for the U.S. Veterans Administration.
