  Busy street "Panama, 1926"
  Photograph of a car line street taken in Panama in 1926. Palm trees can be seen planted in front of the four story restaurant on the opposite side of the street. The building is characterized by rectangular windows on all of the floors, a mansard style roof with several roof, and wall dormers. The large clock tower building has a curved front with several stories of windows and pillars supporting a cornice on the first floor. A skyscraper stands behind the clock tower and has a heavy base and a denticulated cornice at the top. Skyscrapers line the rest of the street in the background. Jefferson would often use the same negative to create a lantern slide as well as a mounted stereographic card. When possible we have indicated if it is a repeat image, however this is not always the case. As such, there may be a corresponding digitized glass lantern slide, and a mounted stereographic card associated with this stereographic negative within the Mark Jefferson Collection.

The central unit of the building features an elaborate cupola which is several more stories high. The front of the building is hidden under a two story portico with arches on the front. A standard furniture billboard can be seen in the background. Jefferson would often use the same negative to create a lantern slide as well as a mounted stereographic card.

• Butcko, Joseph A.
  Joseph Butcko was born in Ypsilanti, and at the time that World War II broke out, he was apprenticed in the tool and die business. He was drafted into the armed forces at age 19. Joseph was already married at that time, to his high school sweetheart. Both of his brothers were also serving in the war, both in the Pacific Theater. He chose to enter the Navy and went to basic training at the Great Lakes institution, in Chicago, IL. Joseph traveled briefly to Norfolk, VA, and then was sent back to Chicago, to practice gunnery at Navy Pier. He was eventually shipped out to Guam, as a helmsman on a Landing Ship Tank (LST). There were over 100 men on his crew, and despite the fact that it was considered a big crew, he eventually got to know every soldier on it. While on Guam, he saw many soldiers returning from the battle of Iwo Jima in ambulances and taken to the hospital up the mountain - this experience really drove the reality of war home to him. Joseph took part in the attack on Okinawa, in which he drove a shuttle landing craft (a small craft) back and forth from larger boats, to carry marines to the beach. There were many Japanese Kamikaze planes involved in this battle, and he saw his brother's ship hit by two Kamikaze planes - luckily, no one was killed. While serving in the Pacific, Joseph ran into many friends from Ypsilanti, as well as both of his brothers. After the war was over, Joseph served in China, keeping the peace. He also helped facilitate the transportation of Japanese soldiers and civilians, who had been occupying much of China, back to Japan. When he was discharged from the Navy, he returned to Ypsilanti to work in the tool and die manufacturing business.
