Thank you very Much, Dave,
        After about 4 hrs of processing, I have just put up 10 more photos.
(some batches take longer than others, depending on Photoshop work
required).
        I am hoping everyone will send all theirs in before I leave for
Tucson on the 28th.
        Thanks, again, Michael
