Masters history site adds thousands of original NMN color photos
Randy Sturgeon was publisher of National Masters News for eight years, and he honored the monthly’s history by safeguarding its treasured storehouse of photos. These images graced its pages (usually in black-and-white) for decades. Now many can be seen in their original full-color glory. Sunday night, I uploaded to mastershistory.org 108 PDFs representing many months of NMN. Most are searchable via Google. It means people looking for photos of grandma in her track heyday are in luck. Among the most recent shots by former publisher Suzy Hess and hubby-to-be Jerry Wojcik were of the infamous 2006 Charlotte nationals — hampered by heat and lightning storms. Many months of NMN photos remain to be scanned and posted, but that should be soon. In the meantime, check out the NMN archive and savor these shots for the first time, starting in 1989.
