"The picture is Dad from back when he was working for the pharmacy chain Timothy Whites.  It's one of a series of shots from to commemorate the opening of a new store.  Other just include shots of the shelves stocked up with 60s versions of Pampers and such.I guess as Dad was also the store manager as well as pharmacist he got to sit looking important behind a desk."  - Glenn Presslie

"This item I personally find very amusing.  It's a little insight into how Dad's mind worked.  I would sort of call it a record of a 'personal brainstorming' session.  I don't know if they are all ideas intended for a single story, of just general ideas.  If they were for one story then it seems like a fairly ambitious one.  You can see from this list how his background in science was often a big influence, that might seem a little obvious for a sci-fi writer, but I know Dad would like start with real science and expand upon it.  The list seems to me to be 'real science' that could be twisted into a good yarn.What amuses me so much tho is amidst all the science 'mumbo jumbo' the inclusive of 'self-heating shaving soap'.  - Glenn Presslie
