Dear Al,

Enclosed is the photograph that I made at the first meeting of the Blue Ridge Parkway Association. The persons in the photograph are identified as far as I can do it, and I imagine that some of the other old-timers can take care of the identification the rest of the way. I hope this is helpful to you in your history that you volunteered to work on for the Blue Ridge Parkway Association.
