Hello Constantine,

First,  I enjoyed visiting your club's display at the Equestrian Center.  It
was worth the 3 hour drive to view what you in the WamaLTC have set up!  If
my memory serves me right - you were the one with the digital camera taking
pictures most of the time.  I thought I would make it to your next meeting,
but I can't even get to a meeting of AFOL's here in central PA within an
hour's drive of me.  See this from Larry P. a few days ago.

I'm scanning prints.  The prints are fine, as you viewed them yourself.  I
know they're not professional.  They look great in my folder here on my
computer.  It's just when I upload it to BrickShelf I loose the quality.
I've even E-mailed them to myself and I'm getting excellent results and
they're the right size too.  I'll figure it out.

Take Care,

Patrick
