The following collection of miscellaneous images was compiled by Yours Truly over a number of years. I will continue to add to it as time permits and fancy dictates.
Alexandra Palace - one of the poker tournaments at the Mindsports; Harold Lee is nearest the camera; Yours Truly is in green with hands on hips.
Boarding pass for the Tehran Holocaust Conference
[These three practically identical photos of Chris were taken by myself
at his FOREST office. I can't remember the date but I should imagine it was c1992].
Chris R. Tame - 2
[I was fairly certain the three photos below were taken at a meeting held at the Institute Of Economic Affairs;
this was confirmed by Sean Gabb, who dated them c1991].

[An additional photo, taken if I recall correctly at a different meeting at the IEA].

Jake Hornberger - American Libertarian - at an LA meeting, c1994
James Le Fanu at a Libertarian Alliance meeting
Professor Antony Flew (1923-2010) - 1
I was saddened to learn of the death of Professor Flew on April 13; I received the news in a routine
mailing from Sean Gabb; he died on April 8. I can't profess to have known him well but he was probably the only
Englishman I ever met who had actually visited Nazi Germany, which was qualification enough for him to be targeted
on one occasion by the odious Searchlight gang.
I can't remember when or where precisely I took the two photographs above, probably the early 1990s and definitely at a Libertarian Alliance conference in London. I had the odd correspondence with him over the years but hadn't seen him for
some considerable time before his death. I can't say his conversion from lifelong atheist to a form of deism shocked me;
he was not only a philosopher but an honest man, and would have had no hesitation at all in changing his mind if he realised (or believed in this case)
that something he believed in was incorrrect.
RIP
Chris Tame and the Libertarian Alliance

The above photograph appeared in the May 1991 issue of Management Today; it was given or sold to the magazine by a fellow NUJ member without my knowledge,
and probably without knowing who took it. There is a long story behind this, but even today this affair is something that leaves a bad taste in my mouth, like so many of my
journalistic/researching and publishing misadventures. It is published here solely because it is the first and most likely only photograph I have ever had published or will
ever have published in a major national magazine.

Simon Wolff was Senior Lecturer in Toxicology at University College London. I can't remember the date I interviewed him, but my slightly whimsical Smoking And Something Else - which was based on this interview - was published in 1993. I ran into him again sometime later at Victoria Station. In the Summer of 2008 I had dug out some old photographs to scan for this site, including these three. I had intended to send him the originals, but a search on Google revealed - to my shock and horror - that he had died as long ago as 1995. I can't profess to have known him at all well but he was a genuinely nice guy whose work lives on in the Simon Wolff Charitable Foundation.
I asked him to pose for these photographs; in the second two, his computer is switched off!

Tom Caldwell and his colleague Kate Millson (see above) worked for Catford Centre For The Unemployed, which I used for a
number of years from the mid-80s. I found it by chance while I was fly pitching in Catford (the things I've done to try to make a crust). An obituary of sorts for Tom
can be found in my magnum opus beginning at page 137.
