I’m writing because, on your website, I discovered a 1943 picture from the Radio-Television Institute. It’s a group of men, presumably students, and the picture is labeled “Engineer Signal School - Company C." am attaching an image of a photo from 1943 of the Radio-Television Institute (New York City) Class-TF-32. My father is in the picture. He was an industrial arts teacher at Metropolitan Vocational High School (NY) in 1943, so I’m not sure why he appears in this photo (i.e., Were Metropolitan VHS and RTI somehow connected? was he taking addition training at RTI? Was he teaching there in the evenings? I’m afraid it will remain a mystery.
