My reason for wanting course photos is for the creation of a Course Photo Album which will be available for viewing at upcoming reunions. So, before I go rummaging through the Archives, I'd like you to rummage through your old boxes and see if you can find your course photo. If it is in GOOD shape I would like to borrow the original, not a copy, so that I might scan it in at a very high resolution. This creates a file with a size much larger than most ISP's will allow as an e-mail attachment. When you send your photo, please package properly, as Canada Post is not known for the careful handling of packages. All photos will be returned promptly.
