Both Ends of the Spectrum

While cleaning out my Parents garage the past couple of months, I came across several bundles of letters and photographs, some going back as far as the 1800's.  I am scanning everything that I can in order to preserve a digital copy and to try to match up names with faces.  This is going to take a while, but in the meantime, I want to share a card and photograph with you.

The following card has several autographs, most of persons I do not know yet.  However, there is one of a very well known author. Click on it and see of you can spot it.

(HINT: It appears twice)

 

 This photograph is probably from the 1930's.  Today, of course,  this kind of driving would never be allowed....no seat belt.

Return to NCIS

NCIS Director Leon Vance has reviewed the following photos and approved their release on a Need to Know basis.  Unauthorized disclosure is prohibited.

Come in and please close the door behind you.

Jethro and Ziva are busy discussing the progress of the current Investigation, so lets continue on....

...to the Wardrobe Department.

 

You may recognize some of these garmets from your favorite NCIS episode.

  

Everything is organized and identified by Episode and Actor.

Cool NCIS Ballcaps

Abby has a full calendar this month.

Better put on your latex gloves before handling this stuff.

Inside Jethro's basement.
The bike really belongs to Mark H.

This area serves as a Garage.  
It was also where we had lunch, minus the tables and chairs.

The Principle Cast Members have Trailors to hang out in when they are not on the set.
This is Mark Harmon's.

Hey...Who let these Tourists  in here?

NCIS Director Leon Vance's office.
He's not in at the moment.
I wonder what's on his desk?

WOW...Top Secret NCIS stuff!
  Now where did I put my reading glasses...?????

Port a' Potty

San Pedro has a World Class Port...

 ...With a World Class Fountain...

...and right beside that Fountain is a World Class Restroom.

I have never been inside  a world class restroom, so I decided to take a Peek and look inside.

 

 Maybe its just me, but does this look like the toilet in County Lockup?

I guess the reason for the hand sensor is that you don't want touch anything in here.

So you need to make some kind of Close Encounters of the Third Kind hand movements to activate the flushing mechanism.

After you have finished your business, its on to the sink.

 To minimize physical contact with anything, you only need to touch three little buttons.

 So first you turn on the dryer, followed by the water, and finally the soap.   I think if I had designed this thing,  I would have put the buttons is a different order.

Once A Soldier

Along time ago, I was Sargente Tomas,  part of Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo's landing party on San Miguel Island. 

Standing left to right are myself and my Friends John Olguin and Bill Samaras.

NCIS Visit

Our friend Leon Carroll invited us to visit the set of NCIS.  

The show's Producers, Cast and Crew that we met took time to visit with us,  take photos with us and make us feel welcome.  What a great group!

This is the Production Office.  Notice that it also doubled as Washington General Hospital.

From left to right, our friend Trish (world's biggest NCIS fan), Nancy, and  Kathleen.

We took a break from all  that excitement to have lunch.

.

What better place to go after lunch than where they take the bodies apart.

Mmmmm...leftovers.

 

 Looks High Tech and impressive (but it's a set piece)

In fact, all of the computer and video display seen on the show are sent and controlled  from a small room off to the side.
