"National Public Radio this weekend ran a fascinating story, a memorial obituary of one of the most interesting and dedicated travelers you’ve never heard of. Demographer Calvin Beale worked for the US Agriculture Department for 55 years before his death on September 1st. Beale didn’t think of himself as a traveler — he simply spent decades cataloging life and images in rural America as part of his job and the work he loved."
