Neil Fox at the PHSC Fall 2000 fair with some of his collection

Part of the cut-line for the image at left states, “An attractive display of newly refurbished wooden studio cameras by Neil Fox caught the attention of many visitors. On view were Century Studio – 8×10, Anthony Studio – 14×14, and Century Studio Master – 8×10. …”

This was our first of many fairs held at the new Soccer Centre thanks to the help of soccer enthusiast and past president Les Jones.

Fair Chairman Larry Boccioletti  wrote a brief article thanking all the volunteers. Larry noted the biggest event (for him) was accidentally spilling 40 cups of coffee on his van rug and having it cleaned …

Members read Larry’s article and saw the fair photos by editor Lansdale in the issue 26-3 pdf file on the free members-only DVD/stick.
