I will also post this message on a board I am on. If anyone could help, these are the people. Tiki Central's community, whom I love and have helped me flesh out memories of my uncle mike are superb researchers and collectors. Also I will pass your message to the formost researcher of Mike's photos and career. Best of luck in your endeavor, and Im truely sorry for your loss. Phillip On Sun, Oct 11, 2009 at 2:36 PM, As you can see from the email chain below, my wife & I are searching for some photos taken on the Queen Mary in the 1980's by you uncle, Mike Roberts . Some of the photos were used in post cards in one of which shows our deceased son climbing on a anti-aircraft gun emplacement. Were hoping based on the email chain (from Mr. Will Kayne a PR representative at the Queen Mary in Long Beach, CA. ) below that you might still have some of photos or negatives. Unfortunately management of the ship has changed several times over the years. All the shops today are independently leased and have no records of inventory back that far. I did Google Mike Roberts and found his nephew, Phillip Roberts at a site named Tiki Central Forums. On this Web site he talks about owning some of his late uncles negatives. You might pursue contact with Phillip. Good Luck. Dear Sir or Madam, Some time ago my wife and I purchased several Mike Roberts Post cards of your Royal Lady. One of the cards (attached) displayed a combination of for photos. The right-lowermost photo shows several youngsters climbing on one of the antiaircraft guns. The young man wearing shorts in the foreground is my son Christian. We lost Chris in 1988 and would be grateful if you could direct us to the photographer or any other source of photographs taken . . . probably Summer 1985. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Warmest Regards, Richard
