Big thanks to you Mr Cole for the pictorial story of this event. Helped some of us who couldn't make it to the event to feel we were there virtually. Started seeing your shots in newspapers in the '70s. Am surprised you are still active and even flowing with the modern trend. May God keep you alive and healthy to continue churning out more great shots.
Simply divine and professional shots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Well done
