Thanks Dan. I will submit the pictures that way. How about corrections, I
think that is much more important. I had an agreement with the person that was
doing these that I would just send emails. I do not know how to do the data
bases and such, so if I could just do emails it would make what I am doing a lot
easier. I have most of the sticker pictures which was asked for from your site.
I do not know how to do other than the emails. I am in the early stages of
possible Altzheimers and send the email as I inventory the set.
Easier for me to keep track of. But thank you for your reply.
