Ed Bearss is a 93 year old WW II combat-wounded veteran, Chief Historian Emeritus of the US Park Service, and leads history tours of battlefields some 150+ days a year.
TFC - Bravo for getting these. 'Expressive face like this needs preservation. The last WWII vet I knew was gone in '98 & I have very few images of him. I would think the Park Service would be grateful for such a shot.
Ed's kinda famous - they actually did a documentary video (which I have a copy) for his 90th birthday through the auspices of the Smithsonian, where he leads a lot of tours. I'm getting another image of him I did a while ago published in the Civil War Trust's magazine as part of an article on significant preservationists.
