John FitzGerald's photos with the keyword: aswan

Submitted to the Vintage Photos Theme Park in the category "Friends", as a theme about people. This was also the Theme Park's first theme. ========== It's about time I restored this. I believe the Doris Hedine in this photo is the Doris Hedine of Winthrop, MN, who worked overseas for the US Department of Agriculture for many years. About Doris MacArthur I have unfortunately been able to find nothing. The Cataract Hotel is now the Old Cataract Hotel. It has housed many important people over the years, including Tsar Nicholas II, Winston Churchill, Margaret Thatcher, and François Mitterrand. As people pointed out to me when I posted this before, Agatha Christie may have written Death on the Nile while staying there, and parts of the novel are set in the hotel. Today it looks as if the boulder Doris and Doris were sitting on has been replaced by a concrete pad for sunbeds, as we see at this link: www.ahstatic.com/photos/1666_homom_00_p_1024x768.jpg I bought this photo at the weekly St. Lawrence Market collectibles show in Toronto.
