ThePAIImagıst PHOTOGRAPHY AND IMAGING | www.PAI-<strong>newyork</strong>.<strong>org</strong> October 2010 PAI’s 50th Anniversary Luncheon Touching, informative, funny, inspiring and nostalgic, just a few of the adjectives heard describing PAI’s historic 50th celebration. In addition to stories told by our past presidents Marge Neikrug, Len Stern, and Al Francekevich, we saw Nobles Lowe, Tony Vaccaro, Marvin Newman, Al Gescheidt and Rebecca Lepkoff. Alden James, President of the National Arts Club, dropped by with opening remarks about PAI’s early beginnings at the NAC and assured members that the club will continue rolling out the red carpet for our programs. Marge Neikrug, up from Florida for the occasion, shared her memories of the genesis of PAI and recalled the days she and Regina Reynolds were the first women invited to join the group. With the time capsule opened, others followed, recounting fascinating and hilarious stories. Marvin Newman’s tale of unwittingly causing a major chemical spill in the Time Life darkroom; Tony Vaccaro’s spirited saga of Flair magazine’s editor assigning him a fashion shoot when his only photographic experience had been in combat; and Al Francekevich’s astonishment that he was seated at the same table as Philippe Halsman and Leopold Godowsky (co-inventor of Kodachrome). So many wonderful stories and clearly a magical time. One last note, members enjoyed Bob Sharpe’s slide show of Imagist covers throughout the years. Running only six minutes, it condensed dozens of images taken by the talented photographers who have spoken at PAI. Being privy to stories like these was a reminder that this is precisely the reason I joined PAI. It doesn’t exist anywhere else. —Cynthia Matthews PAI President Bob Sharpe (l) with Past Presidents Marge Neikrug, Len Stern and Al Francekevich, holding an image of the historic first chartered flight on TWA in 1958.
