Abstract

Descriptive titles from a slide show presented by C. B. Ford at the AAVSO 75th Anniversary Meeting are given. The program consisted of selected 2x2 slides from Mr. Ford's personal collection, with emphasis on photos of lesser-known AAVSO members and participants, spanning the previous 40 or 50 years. Beginning with well-knowns such as Annie Jump Cannon and Leon Campbell at Harvard College Observatory, photos of many relatively unknown personages were shown and briefly described. The dates given refer to the photos only.
