06/18/2007. Remarks by Ron Dupas: "This photo was matted and framed and for sale in a second-hand store. Below the photo was inscribed 'First of the new breed of heavy bombers from Curtiss at the end of the 1920's' so the original photo had been replaced with this one. A brass plate on the frame said 'Willis & Geiger since 1902' which I discovered was a clothing firm which 'outfitted legends such as Byrd, Lindbergh, Earhart, Roosevelt and MacArthur'."
