Ravages of Time

Ravages of Time - Dan Griffin (private collection, do not copy)

Our Daddy was a photographer with an eye for the special shot. Found this print among his things years later. I believe he was sadly remembering the land of his youth. He must have climbed just such a ladder to view his domain as a boy. When he was past his climbing days, he wrote his name on the topmost point of the KWTV tower as it lay on the ground between Oklahoma City and Edmond, waiting to be raised as the tallest structure in the world at that time. Within a few miles of his boyhood home, at least his name would then be overseer to the edges of the horizon.
