“On behalf of the 95th Force Support Squadron and Edwards Air Force Base Community we wish to thank the Lancaster Photography Association for providing a Youth Photography Camp during the week of August 15-19, 2011. The photography camp provided 20 youth of Edwards AFB a wealth of knowledge and expertise in a various aspects of photograph. This would not have been possible without the dedication of Sue Craft, Nan Carder and especially Faith W. These individuals delivered excellent instruction and developed a great rapport with our young photographers. Other noteworthy people who assisted in this project were Tylene Trout, Anita Kratofil, and Brent Paull. The Edwards AFB Military Community is exceedingly grateful to the LPA for conducting this camp and enriching the lives of Edwards AFB younger citizens”.
