April 22, 2022

I took this photo on the very first Earth Day, 52 years ago today, when I was a senior at Pennridge High School in 1970. It was taken from one of Carson’s cargo helicopters; Carson Helicopters is based in Hilltown Township (Perkasie, PA address) since 1958.

Bob Bergey
October 23, 2020
