[edit] photo

we could still use a photo for this article if anyone else can help. I haven't been able to locate one in the Public Domain. Vaoverland 01:17, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

Anything in the U.S. from before 1923 is in the public domain, if you weren't aware. Surely there's an old photo?--Pharos 01:39, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
