My only tie to the high school yearbook was designing the cover for the
school's first ever graduating class with pencil and paper. I never got
a camera until a couple of years later. Then it took another 15 years
before I acquired an OM-1. Then it took another 30 years to figure out
how to use it. Still workin' on that.
