On January 14, 2021 By Sunnyside Neighborhood AssociationIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

Photographer and longtime SNA member Bill Wilson has made a special subject of the President-Elect Joe Biden’s long political career. His photographs and related memories were featured in this month’s Bay Times. Congratulations, Bill!

Read the article here (page two). or the online version here.

In the article, Bill recalls:

“When Joe Biden was elected senator, he hired one of my co-workers to be on his staff. I discovered that Biden’s secretary lived in the same apartment building that I lived in. We became good friends and she encouraged me to take photos of the Senator. He signed one of those photos for me, writing, ‘You have been a great help to us and a fine friend.’ “
