And it does seem this is a different group of men.<br /><br />Whatever the group was, it certainly shows me how much of an outdoorsman Bill Bean was. Meeting him in his later years, I would never have known, if it weren't for these photographs.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-90157891210126528942013-06-16T22:32:12.593-07:002013-06-16T22:32:12.593-07:00It could be, Iggy--although I suspect that Bill wo...It could be, Iggy--although I suspect that Bill would more likely be fulfilling the role of shutterbug for this expedition.<br /><br />I'm not putting too much stock in the date the photo was developed. I don't know about you, but I never was that quick on getting my film developed, so I tend to think others might have that same tendency...Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-47646555104630857952013-06-16T22:28:19.977-07:002013-06-16T22:28:19.977-07:00Far Side, you have such a good eye for detail.

Now that makes me want to go back to the original scan and blow it up on PhotoShop and see if I can make out those details for myself!<br /><br />See, I told you my eyesight wasn't that great! :)Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-44177253129352891532013-06-16T22:26:08.011-07:002013-06-16T22:26:08.011-07:00Wendy, the idea of a hunt club is a good possibili...Wendy, the idea of a hunt club is a good possibility.

I don't see anyone from the previous pictures. So many choices of hat styles! But they don't really seem like what I know as hunting caps.Mariannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09543003593158696611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-8901788362464511142013-06-12T07:45:20.976-07:002013-06-12T07:45:20.976-07:00Yes, those are definitely "birdies". :)...Yes, those are definitely "birdies". :) Is that Bill straining to hold the catch up on the left?<br /><br />December 1939? Hmmm... given the date, I suspect the white birds are Snow Geese and/or "specklebellies" (Greater White-fronted Geese) that fly the Pacific Flyway (and past Alameda).Intense Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441598926026727682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-82175870456272427012013-06-10T08:41:33.569-07:002013-06-10T08:41:33.569-07:00Looks like a Goose Hunt, the guy on the right has ...Looks like a Goose Hunt, the guy on the right has a rifle.

The shape of his mouth is similar to that of the older guy with the shin guards. Same guy 20 years and 20 pounds later?? Possibly.<br /><br />Was Bill in some kind of hunt club that would have brought together people who were not friends outside the club?Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.com
