I'm looking for pics of some pyro gurus like Robert M Winokur, Lloyd Scott Oglesby and Robert Veline. Wish to make a few facebook posts about their contributions to pyrotechnics.

 

Unlike Ron Lancaster and Takeo Shimizu I found that it is quite difficult to get information on the above mentioned persons from the internet. I was only able to find out a very old pic. of Bob Winokur from the following link:

Can anybody help in fetching pics , maybe from personal collection like PGI meeting or any other such gatherings

Thanks in advance

It does seem difficult, much to my surprise. I googled for images of Bob Winokur, whom I know personally, and none of the images was of him! He's a short elderly man with glasses and an impressive beard, and a biology professor at UNLV. You should be able to find something based on that search if you look long enough.There used to be quite a famous photo of him holding up a turtle that was nearly as big as he is.

 

PM me for his email address if you like. I can also connect you with Robert Veline.

Asking on passfire or fireworking.com would probably yield better results. If they don't have photos, they probably know where to find some. Checking some of the post convention PGI bulletins might also be of some help. I recall seeing some pictures of Robert Winokur with Mike Swisher and a few others after one of Winokur's presentations.

 

I've been looking for that picture of Bob with the turtle for a while. I just get a kick out of it.
