Janu Fairservis, who was married to Professor Walter Fairservis and who made immeasurably contributions herself to his work, and well as raising their wonderful family, gave me this picture as a gift. It hung in the Professor's office for years, and I am very grateful to have it now.
Dad (Lawrence DeWolfe Kelsey, Jr.) stands in the center of the photograph. This is the group photograph of the Second Fairservis Expedition in Afghanistan, headquartered in Quetta, Pakistan.
It was an amazing expedition from a standpoint of archaeological and artistic discoveries, logistics, geology, and simply travel over this diverse and unusual land, much of which would not be possible today given the political climate in the world. These individuals were lucky indeed to have been a part of this challenging expedition.
