#284: More Vintage Mammoth and Bishop Summer Scanned 35mm Slides from Bob and Peg Schotz
Here are more from Bob and Peg Schotz’ collection of scanned 35mm slides.
We posted another set here a few days ago, as well as some others here in June, 2011.
Several of these are of Bob and Peg’s good friends, John and Barbara Haddaway.
John Haddaway was a clever and industrious man that invented an air pump for fish tanks and manufactured them in Mammoth. He was also a photographer and some of these photos are from his collection, which Bob has now. We’ll write up more about the Haddaway family in the future. Bob’s got a lot of great memories about them and their history in the Eastern Sierra. Stay tuned for that.
That’s the end of Bob and Peg’s summer shots. I hope you guys enjoyed browsing through them as much as we have.

Very good Patricia, let’s see some photos!
Thanks Bret. That’s a great story, I love hearing these things. Keep in touch!
A small Hello from France,
I am currently on vacation in “Auvergne”, for a week. It’s a very beautiful region, in the program : visit volcanoes and small villages, discovered landscapes to photograph, good food…
Saturday back East !!!
Bye.
…and just as a general comment, Dave: Your website has brightened quite a few night shifts. I’ve enjoyed browsing through the different galleries and seeing the pics from all over the Eastern Sierra area (but I will admit that I wish you had more from down in the Big Pine area, LOL). I grew up in Big Pine and learned to ski at Mammoth – and only missed one “ski day” from Big Pine Unified Schools during all my years there due to being ineligible (bad grades).
I also believe you knew my father, who worked for CalTrans there in the Bishop office. He mentions having several meetings with you over the years – one particular meeting is mentioned more than the rest: He drove to Mammoth during a massive snowstorm to meet with you, and your secretary said you’d be in shortly – you were out on the mountain. Apparently, when you came in, you were remarking about what a “beautiful day” it was outside!
Hope all is well with you and your lovely wife, Dave!
The lake in the picture second from last looks like Tenaya Lake to me.
