UStik and all- Here is the picture of Ed taken later in life while on travels as a photographer. It looks like a very "natural" pose doesn't it?

Ed seemingly led a very a very full, and interesting life. He traveled extensively both during and certainly after his R/C career ended. Unfortunately there is no date on the photograph, but I would guess sometime during the early 1990s.

In addition to this photo of Ed, Chuck Noble included several of the photos we called the "Carrier Photos". They are the same small 3X3 size as the Simla pictures I received earlier, but dated two years earlier in August 1963. As was common in he early 60s, they were in black & white.

Hope you enjoy the photo; it shows once more that Ed didn't "fade away" after R/C, he just moved on to new interests which he proceeded to excel in the same waythat he took R/C "by storm". He won numerous awards in photography, and had pictures published in many travel magazines. A lot of his artwork is still available on the Noble Auction site. It tends to be on the "bold and artistic" side rather than just a collection of landscapes or portraits. I picked up a few of his photos-checkthem out, (Noble Auction).
