Jim Mohr, with Kathy (who now goes by Kate) Stanley in the
foreground. This is a terrible picture, but I've
included it because it is absolutely the only shot I
have with Kathy in it. Both look incredibly bored, as anyone who
is merely a bystander at a marathon recording session would
rightly be.
Comparing the two pictures with Jim in them leads me to conclude
that the previous one was from the first session, and this one
was from the second session. The first time up we had to take
all our gear, and there was absolutely no room for wives to come
along. But the second trip we made in two cars, so evidently
Kathy came along on this trip. However, I don't think Ellen
McFaul made it. The total absence of any pictures of her at the
session tends to verify that recollection.
One minor mystery remains. Notice that Jim is dressed here in a
business suit. My memory tells me that this session, including
the two-hour trip each way, was held on a Sunday, when there
would have been no one around except us, the engineers, and
whatever people were necessary to keep the studio open. Dressing
in a suit seems like a bit of overkill to me, but Jim was a
traditional businessman who ran a small advertising agency, so I
guess this was his standard uniform. However, in the other shot,
he is wearing neither a tie nor a suit.
