I have two old (4 sides) pages from "Life" that my son recently
found between pages of another magazine. They are very old B&W and
it seems to be more of a pictorial type with captions, not a
feature. On the title page is printed,"Free as a Cloud Over all
Outdoors"......"Photographed for LIFE by BOB GOMEL". There is a
handwritten notation on the page that says Dec 61, but the date
does not appear in print on any of the pages. The pages are in very
poor condition with parts of the captions torn and worn.

Hmm. The Dec 22 1961 issue did have an outdoors theme. Are any page
numbers visible?

Here is the table of contents from that issue:

Unfortunately no.

The closest thing to a page number is "continued", but gives no
number.


OK. It sounds like the article your fragment is from isn't quite the sort
of thing I am looking for. And between the National Geographic articles
and some of the other Life articles, I have quite a full plate.

That said, it probably wouldn't take you more than a trip to the library
to verify the source of your fragment; there are only four magazines in
Dec 1961, and one of them is a very strong candiate. If you hit paydirt
and are able to match the fragment, you should be able to write up your
find, search, and conclusion as an article for Soaring. Including a few
scans, it might take a page or two, and sounds like the sort of thing
they are interested in.
