If you have photographs you'd like to contribute to this website, they'd be very welcome!
You may scan them and send them right in the body of an email message to me,
Lin Van Buren.
Please bear in mind that this section, by definition, contains images and that image files
tend to be very large - MUCH larger than text files. Therefore, image files often take
quite a bit of time to download. Thank you for your patience.
Also, please be reminded that the copyright for these photographs remains with the contributor. If
you wish to make commercial use of them, please obtain written permission in advance from the contributor.
Anytime you "share" these photographs, please accredit them by name to the contributor.
