With the sad news of photographer Alfred Wertheimer's passing on October 19, 2014, below are some photographs of him taken by Warren Perry at the opening of the Elvis at 21 exhibition at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC in 2010. Wertheimer was well known for his early images of a young Elvis Presley, including the famous image, known as "the Kiss," shown with him below.
On Friday, October 10, Warren Perry will read his dramatic adaptation of the works of naturalist Archie Carr, Sea Turtles, Herons among Cows, and Prying about in Strange Places, as part of a benefit for the Friends of Carr Cabin, Inc. in Umatilla, Florida. Carr was a well-known Florida environmentalist and a specialist in sea turtles, and his family cabin and land in Umatilla were donated by his family to Ocala National Forest in 2007. The Friends of Carr Cabin have formed a partnership with the US Forest Service to preserve and interpret the Carr Cabin and the legacy of Archie Carr.
The program will be held from 6 to 8 pm at The Palms, the historic Collins family home, at 110 North Trowell Avenue, Umatilla, Florida.
