A. K. Bishop, of Mount Gilead, N. c., |
IS here with his camera taking pictures
of the North Carolina boys and occa-
sionally "mugging" a Pennsylvania.
He was with Mrs. Byron Wooten at
Camp Glenn last summer and did prac-
tically all of her finishing. Mrs. Woot-
on is the official photographer of thn
brigade and she is one of the most
tireless workers in the world. She
had planned to come to Texas with
the troops but she was about worked
down when moving orders came.
Something of the volume of her work
at camp last summer may be realized
from the statement made recently by
Mr.. Bishop that he finished for her U.s.
900 prints last summer. Mr.. Bishop
has found plenty of work to do so far
and is much pleased with Ell Paso.
