in Buffalo and then as owner/operator of E.L. Tichenor Company, Inc., a wholesale

his films on cruise lines. His film "Disneyland" won an award in an international
film competition, and his film about the Pitcairn Islands, "The Lonely Islands," won
an award from the Metropolitan Motion Picture Club of New York City.
