	Al Smith - Turtledove
		Smith was able to steer the country through the early dark days of the Second Great War, and was killed in the bombing of Powel House.
		Throughout Smith's first term, his counter-part in the Confederacy, President Jake Featherston, had demanded the return of territories the C.S. had lost to the U.S. during the Great War, implying that the C.S. was prepared to retake those territories by force.
		Smith, wanting to avoid another war, while realizing that the American people were tired of the troublesome former Confederate states, finally agreed to meet with Featherston in Richmond.

	Al Smith's Neighborhood
		Smith recalls, "When I was growing up, I thought it would be nice to be taking pictures; I always wanted a box camera, but there was no money to get one." So in 1937, on his last trip to the Orient, Al Smith bought his first serious camera.
		Smith began to take his "hobby" seriously, although he claims he was "doing nothing special, just shooting pictures." He was ready, however, to put himself and his camera to work when Seattle's Jackson Street after hours jazz clubs offered photo opportunities and more during the World War II years.
		Al Smith's talent with lens, film and flashbulb was equal to the skills of the jazz artists at their pianos, drums and trumpets.
