Contact Grant Haist?

[roger_hicks1]

Does anyone know if Grant Haist is (a) well and (b) at home to

visitors? I'd love to interview him for Shutterbug magazine (and

maybe others, and buy a copy of his book) if he is indeed in Florida

as I last heard.

 

Cheers,

Hopefully Ron Mowrey will see your post. Ron is a friend of Grant Haist's from their Kodak days. (IIRC.)

I doubt that. Do a search on threads here on PN--there is a locked one that you might want

to read.

Jon, I'm not sure what the basis is for your statement but in the following thread:

Ron wrote: "...Grant Haist, a dear friend of mine..." without a hint of irony or sarcasm.

 

While it's possible that Mr. Mowrey and Mr. Haist don't agree on every technical matter I can't recall anything said in these forums to indicate they are less than friends.

The thread also mentioned that Haist suffered a stroke in 2003 and has been unable to work.

[jordan_w.]

Indeed, the thread specifically describes Ron and Grant working in the darkroom together, frequent visits, etc.

 

Roger, you can look up Ron's e-mail address from the thread that Lex linked to.

I'm sure Ron will chime in here about this, but I'm certain they are friends.

I guess I should have said I know they are friends.

I had a short e-mail conversation with Bill Troop in 2001. He gave me an address of Haist in Okemos (MI) then. Maybe he knows where you can find him now?
