"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.

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."
