If anyone knows of a collection of WF 1939 RCA photos I would like to help them see dad at the WF.

Just a crazy suggestion: Arnold Chase (remember him?) was a huge collector of everything related to RCA at the '39 World's Fair. He had filing cabinets filled with items from the fair -- from the family of the RCA executive charged with creating the exhibit. Chase's extensive collection went to Moses Znaimer in Toronto -- including the restored lucite TRK-12 (that was also exhibited at the Smithsonian in 1989.) So...maybe the MZTV Museum in Toronto would have photos that include this engineer's photo?
