St. Paul Camera Club on HIstory Detectives

On March 20, 2011, St. Paul Camera Club Historian Gene Schwope was flown to Washington D.C. to be interviewed by the PBS History Detectives television show. The taped interview took place over five hours, at a town house in Arlington, Virginia, just up the street from the Pentagon. The crew included two Producers, a cameraman/lighting expert, a sound technician, a person to watch for continuity,and History Detective Wes Cowan.

The History Detectives program, which should air on a Tuesday evening in August, will deal with Marion Carpenter, a former member of the St. Paul Camera Club.

We will keep you posted as to the date it is scheduled to air on the show.
