Tin Goose
Dad’s love of airplanes started when he was young and never ended. He loved attending air shows to shoot the planes in flight. This Ford Trimotor, nicknamed “Tin Goose” was part of an annual show in Bolingbrook, IL.

Flying High
It’s no small feat to catch the Air Force Thunderbirds in action. Dad took this amazing image at a Chicago Cubs game while they were doing practice runs over Wrigley Field for the annual Air & Water Show.
St. Louis-San Francisco Railway 1630
We spent many Saturdays growing up at the Illinois Railway Museum in Union, IL. We rode this steam train several times during our visits.
Sunset at Railroad Crossing
Dad always had a camera with him. He caught this sunset in Downers Grove, not far from his house.
Steamin’ Through Colorado
Dad combined his love of photography and trains on a trip out west. He rode the Durango and Silverton train through southwestern Colorado.
Durango and Silverton Steam Train
Dad LOVED steam trains. He was thrilled to be able to ride the original Durango-Silverton line that was founded in 1881.
Bolingbrook Air Show
Dad was a big fan of airplanes too. He got this shot at the Cavalcade of Planes air show in 2016 at Clow Airport in Bolingbrook, IL.
