Hello Brian & list folks,

Try this updated page, it should load a lot faster (I hope)
http://home.earthlink.net/~spknsprkt/_wsn/page2.html  I resized the images and
re-uploaded them to the site. I was under the impresion that they were resized 
when I
edited the webpage, but it appears that setting the 'size' on Eathlink only 
sets how
large it will display on the page, the whole file is still loaded, very slow!

If anyone would like the large orginal scans let me know, I would be happy to 
e-mail
them to you.

Actually the scans were done direct from negatives (by Seattle Film Works)
