I'm sure it will take more than a few months of spare time (I have no spare time) to get all the pictures that I now have restored, BUT
I have restored the pictures in the messages back to this thread (over an hour of work),
THANKS TO KarlT from this board for preserving a lot of the old threads and sending a flash drive with them to me so that I could restore the pictures. I picked a great place to start, as these pictures are outstanding in their detail and depth. The only one I don't have for this thread is the last picture... anyone?
More threads will be restored as soon as possible.
