Request for pictures of John Jordan and his work

Post by Kelly Thorson »

If anybody has pictures they are willing to share, we are putting together a tribute to John for the Moose Jaw Meet in July.
I'm looking for pictures both of John and his work at the highest resolution available. We are planning to use these for a digital montage presentation. We have the families blessing on this.
Thanks, Kelly
I believe there is no shame in failure. Rather, the shame lies in the loss of all the things that might have been, but for the fear of failure.

Kelly, I have three pictures of John from the Memorial Conclave at Johns a couple years ago, but they are all three very similar. I was working next to him, so I took shots of him in profile working on the group piece. If you send or post your e-mail address I'd be glad to send you a copy. Harry Malicoat MalicoART@aol.com

Thank you for the pictures Harry. :)
Does anyone know how many Conclaves/Memorial Conclaves John attended?
I'd love some more pictures of that.

Bump

A shameless bump. :D
I'm still looking and a few have been promised haven't showed up yet.
Thanks!

Zoo pic & tape

Post by Steven Vigeant »

I have a small amount of analog tape I collected at the Zoo, also a decent picture. I can transcribe the tape into text and or convert it to a format you could use. It's on mini-casette right now. There are a few touching quotes and a funny personal anecdote from him on there.

Hey Kelly, go to LETTERVILLE and then 'past meets" to the ZOO meet in CINCI last summer. There are good photos of JOHN in each of the three portfolios.

Hi Steven,
Somehow I think I missed your offer. I would really appreciate if you would do that for me. If there are any others that would like to contribute, I'd appreciate it.
We have arranged for a live feed during the tribute between John's family in Australia and the Moose Jaw meet. If anyone wishes to send a message or come and deliver it in person, you ae welcome.
We'll be making copies of the digital montage for the family as well.
