Ron Smith, one of the history teachers from Castillero Junior High School who conducted a trip to Washington, D.C. at the end of my eighth grade year.
I took this picture of Mr. Smith while we were aboard a TWA L-1011 aircraft flying between Dulles International Airport (IAD) and San Francisco International Airport (SFO).
I took this picture using the second 35mm camera I ever had, a Leica IIIf with a 50mm f2 Summitar lens.
