Ryan's Adventure to Africa

Africa! - Ryan went to Tanzania in January 2005 to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro and participate in a safari.

 

 

Ryan took more than 800 pictures, and I have attempted to pick a representative sampling. Now if I could just get him to write something...

Here is an animated photo montage of the sun rising as we arrived in St. Thomas on the latest cruise. Home again... (big file, so be patient).

 

Based on information received during our visit to St. Thomas, I will be revising the Angelina Lauro story. Seems I neglected to mention some interesting things.

 

The Holiday Newsletter Chronicles:

 

Cruise Stories - A Tale of Two Three Four Cruises contains a complete index and links to cruise travel stories covering our trips aboard Celebrity's Galaxy, Mercury and Millennium, and Hollan America's Maasdam. The first story earned me a free cruise from Celebrity... I turned it into a book. The fourth story is a work in progress.

 

The chesterh.com forum -- a full-function multi-topic bulletin board system. I know a lot of people pass through without posting -- don't be shy, say something. Topics include cruising, digital video, and the NHS Class of '73 (30th Reunion) - Classmates, don't be shy. Click into the forum area, create an account for yourself, and start posting. Wanted: Photos from the reunion. If anyone can supply them, I'll make up some web pages.

 

Video Selected video clips from the trips and some unrelated others, just for fun.

 

Garden Railroad - A look at my back yard and a fairly odd hobby.

 

Agfa, my employer, received a Technology Enabler Award from Start Magazine for my work in electronic document management. Here is the press release, and various other articles published over the years.

Classic Toy Trains for Sale - More than 400 vintage Lionel, Ives and American Flyer items. Click here for the list. If you are really, really interested, leave a message in the guest book. My response time isn't very good these days, so please be patient.
