Bob Merriam told me that the two pictures on the left side of the middle 
row are of Stew taken at different times. There are two pictures of 
Armstrong, one in the upper left corner and the other below , between 
the photos of equipment and tubes.


Also notice the distinguished gentleman second from the left, top row: 
Thomas Alva Edison. And the bearded fellow in the upper-right corner is 
Alexander Graham Bell, important to me for many reasons, not the least 
of which is the seven years I was employed by Bell Laboratories. Best 
job I ever had working for someone else.

About a decade ago I was visiting my home state of Rhode Island and 
found out about the New England Wireless and Steam Museum in East 
Greenwich. I visited there on the clean-up day after their "Yankee 
Steam Up" event and helped with that task. I was reward with a 
personal tour of the Wireless Museum and the PJ Station facility by 
Bob Merriam (then in his 80s, now SK).


The NEWSM campus is now a protected national treasure. Group tours can 
be scheduled. But you can take a virtual tour on their web site:


    Main page: https://newsm.org/
    Wireless: https://newsm.org/tag/wireless-tour/

During my tour I took many pictures. A few show views of the W1BB 
portion of the exhibit. They are here in my dropbox:
