My father's darkroom was in the basement of my Grandparents' house. It was always a special trip to go there and watch him develop film, especially when he switched over from black and white to colour. It was really exciting to watch the colour photos develop! We had never seen anything like it....

Remembrance Day (Memorial Day in the US) is near.
I have been thinking about my father.
My recent post (spontaneous and unedited):
This is my father with one of his several aircraft over the years. I think this is a Cessna, and there are those who know (not I). I am on the left and my brother Ross on the right.
My father, Ralph Edwin Hunt, certainly my great life hero. Veteran of WWII, Captain, US Infantry, 70th Division, Juris Doctor, Magna Cum Laude, University of Michigan, lawyer in independent practice, professor of history and political science, physics aficionado, community development advocate, pilot (of course), European car enthusiast, photographer (operated his own darkroom/lab), speaker of French, Latin and English, collector of art, writer, Unitarian lay reader, gardener, technology innovator, designer of a passive solar home in 1950, former regional president of the United Cerebral Palsy Association, turned down a posting with the US Supreme Court to come home to Missouri, friend to many, generous and unassuming to a fault... my father.
I cannot imitate him, only admire him....

A Quiet Hero: Remembering Ralph Edwin Hunt
27 January 2008
My father, Ralph Edwin Hunt, lived from January 13, 1923 through May 24, 1995.
He was a modest, often shy and at all times unassuming man of short physical stature who nonetheless towered above the landscape in all fields in which he practiced, both vocationally and avocationally.
This is an experimental post. More later!
