Fred Spurlin, and family, moved to The Canal Zone in 1974. From day one he was hooked on the Code of The Canal Zone, "Always Be Helping Someone". With that ethic and his talent in photography and story telling the task of photographing as many memories possible. Preserving the memories of the Red, White and Blue Utopia was his passion.

Guillermo Ford and Fred Spurlin

I had no idea dad and the Vice President had worked together. I walked out of Dos Continentes Penonome and mentioned to dad that Guille Ford was inside. Dad stood up walked in. The Vice President stood up and said "Fred what are you doing here".

Special Thanks

Driving and inspiration is a big part of photographing a country. Michael "Robby" Robinson provided both for many years and we thank you.
