Toronto<\/strong>. The Photographic business of Galardo & Miron thrives today. \u00a0The business was founded by Emilio Galardo early last Century. In 1994, His granddaughter \u00a0Gloria (Galardo) Miron \u00a0and her husband Conrad put up an elaborate display and spoke with enthusiasm at one of our Toronto meetings. The business was well known to future journal editor Bob Lansdale who wrote a fully illustrated article for issue 20-5 of our journal.<\/p>\n
