Feeling nostalgic. This came out of my recent 1200+ photo bulk scan.

First he discovered a long-forgotten rail tunnel. Then he spent decades trying — in vain — to revive Brooklyn’s trolley system.
Just found out about Bob Diamond’s passing. I had the pleasure of going on one of the tours of the tunnel he rediscovered when I was in high school, even bringing one of my teachers along. I later went to visit the warehouse where they were working on the trolleys for his plan. It had been many years since I had seen him, and while he was an imperfect individual, I appreciated his vision.
Took me a while to find the pictures from this event after seeing Bob Diamond’s obituary.
A 96-year-old who fled the Holocaust finds a new way to be heard.
I was saddened to hear of her death. I would often meet up with her at the community pool upstate. She was always fond of talking to me.
Mr. Asner starred on the TV comedy “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” and later on the spinoff series “Lou Grant.”
I got several near chances to meet Mr. Asner at public appearances, and jumped at the chance, but it never worked out. Despite being of the wrong generation to watch Mary Tyler Moore and Lou Grant, I watched them in reruns. I recognized him as a voice actor, etc. He was acting up until the end and still has voice roles that have yet to come out. I am sad I will not be able to enjoy future work from him.
