Dawn Langdon Karrasch, seen with Kong, is my former wife and now Best Friend. Dawn was the glue that held DPS together for the five years I was co-owner, quite literally keeping the business on track financially, in spite of my over-the-top indulgences in photographers, re-sculpts, header art, and renovations (we really didn't need a lab for Don and Ellis Burman, but I insisted. Of course they loved it, and it was an impressive part of the studio. But very expensive.) - V. Langdon Photos and text © 1966,1967, 1968, 2006 Verne Langdon, All Rights Reserved.
