Do you remember? - Greg Burson.

Greg, I swiped this picture from your web site - don't sue me :)
In the 80's Greg was a manager with the Walgreens lab in Chicago. Greg often came to Milwaukee to help ensure that everything was running smoothly with our new lab.
During one visit, Greg and Rich were working on either the cine film processor, or the paper processor (I forget which one ). Greg was working on the machine while it was running. He stuck his hand in where he shouldn't have and lost the tip of his finger. Ouch!

Later Greg became a Fuji rep and continued visiting Walgreens when we switched to Fuji paper.
I remember Greg as an incredibly friendly and personable guy. He used to tell me stories about photographing president Johnson when he worked as a Whitehouse photographer. Greg helped me obtain an autographed baseball from baseball legend Mickey Mantle at a PMA trade show in Chicago. Greg is retired now and living in Arizona.
