Smile for the Camera

If you can be with us at the Coliseum the evening of May 15, you will be part of a group photo taken by Graham Photography, a long-time fixture in downtown St. Petersburg. (When we were in high school, the company was owned by the Phil Graham family, but they later sold it to Barry and Dianne Richards in about 1992. Barry and Dianne came to St. Petersburg from England, where their photo credits even included members of the royal family.

For a long time the photo studio was located in the 600 block of Central Avenue, but a few years ago, the block of shops was sold, so that Graham Photo relocated to 9th St. N. at about 4th Avenue. Unfortunately, Barry died about two years ago from a heart infection. His widow hired Gary Johns to take over the photography part of the business (she's the business manager). Cupid did his work and the couple were married last summer.

Now back to the group photos: If you want an 8 x 10 print in a folder, mailed to you, the cost will be $20. We'll be asking for your orders as we get closer to the Reunion week.
