Photo of B.F. Meek
I've been in touch with a Mr. Michael McCarthy. He is the great grandson of Paul Meek, one of B.F. Meek's sons. He has the original photo of Meek and had it enhanced and colorized. The photo gives you a clearer impression of who B.F. Meek was. Technology is great!

Nice looking gentleman, great photo. Looks a lot like Mr. Vernon to me. May need a covid trim though.

What a find. He looks like the gentleman he was: a bookworm, cellist, mechanical genus and entrepreneur. Thanks Ron.

Hey, are those oil spatters and hook wounds on his jacket? Just knew he was the real deal.

The splotches on the suit are on the photo, not the suit. Matt was able to remove the splotches in the background.
