Member News: “Old” Photographs Requested From All Members – Mondongueros https://mondongueros.org Mondongueros Reno Mon, 14 Dec 2015 16:01:21 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.3 204495083 “Old” Photographs of Each Member Requested https://mondongueros.org/2015/12/14/old-photographs-requested-2/ Mon, 14 Dec 2015 16:01:21 +0000 http://mondongueros.org/?p=1078 Continue reading ]]> As announced repeatedly during the past several years, we are requesting several “old” photographs of each member. One will be posted on the web-site, while the others will be included within the Mondongueros Master Photograph Album, and distributed to all members each year on a DVD along with photographs of “Mondongueros’ Events”.

While some members have stepped forward with a handful of wonderful personal photographs, most have not yet answered the call. Please include this on your list of resolutions for 2020. One of the tragedies of club history is that so many members have moved away or flown west leaving no photographic record, and are thus only a name on the rosters of Mondongueros. Our club is entirely about the membership, and our individual histories are the foundation of its collective history. As such, your efforts to provide your history in photographs is an important element of support to the club, and for its history to be seen by the future membership.

One photograph representing every decade or two – maybe representing a graduation, a change in occupation or location, a new airplane type flown, or some other significant life-event – are requested. Noting the event and year in which taken will be helpful.

You may provide “hard copies”, which will be returned to you after being scanned into the computer system. You may also provide electronic image file copies as attachments to an email sent to Web-Master Mark Goodrich.

In the event that you elect to provide electronic image files, they should be in .jpg format, and with a resolution of at least 300 dpi.

To assist in showing the type of photographs we are requesting, below is a representative gallery of Member Hans Wolfe, who was one of the original club members, and “flew west” on 20 June 2002.
