I am always looking for more great photos of the Somers. If you have access to
a scanner, you can send me the photo as an attachment.
If you don't have a scanner, but would like to put some pictures on the
page, again let me know, and I'll give you my snail mail address. I'll scan
them with the utmost of care and return them to you immediately. If you don't want to part with the pictures, have them scanned onto a CD at a Wal-Mart, Walgreens, and send me the CD, and I'll Put them up. Thanks to all who have donated photos.
