As best I know, Marcia was looking at the few old photos I've been posting and was reminded that she has some precious photos of Gus that she would like to share with the family. She was going to sort through the prints she has, pick a few, and send them to a photo service to have copies made. When she told me of these plans I was very pleased, and suggested it would be much cheaper and more flexible to scan the photos and distribute them electronically. 

She then told me she doesn't have a scanner, and I replied I'd be happy to scan them here in Lake Wildwood. After some hesitation because she didn't want to put me to any trouble, she replied a second time that she could mail a selection of photos to me for scanning. A package was waiting in our mailbox today when I returned home at 1 p.m. from a morning of Grand Jury work in Nevada City. In it were twenty photographs, of sizes ranging from 3x5 inches to 8x10 inches.

I scanned the photos and then resized them to make 5x7-inch prints, and also cropped and resized another version of them to be suitable for the Internet. The raw scans of the larger ones can be used to make 8x10-inch prints as desired. I'll burn CDs with all these versions and send them to Marcia for her family. I can make CDs available to others as you wish. On this page I give the Internet versions. Perhaps Marcia can suggest more pertinent captions.


The first seven pictures are portraits of Gus alone.

Scenes from Hot L Baltimore

Heated discussion

Heated playfulness


Scenes from Lysistrata

Men bemoan denial of sex by their wives in this Aristophanes play.

Gus delivers the moral -- stop war and have sex returned.


Scenes from the triumphant My Fair Lady
Gus played Eliza Doolittle's father, a common dustman.

I'm tellin' ya Gov'na.

You wouldn't deny a father his rightful reward, would ya?

With a little bit of luck ...

I'm gettin' married in the mornin' ...

Just a few more minutes ...

Farewell from the cast
