I thought it was a wonderful day too. John and Danny showed some of the tougher repairs and showing that hoist was great too. I took photos on Saturday. Didn't realize that I still had the camera set in Black/white. But there are still some good shots I hope to put up on a page soon. If anyone has a great photo they would like to share, please send it to me. I still have that old dial up connections, so only one or two at a time please. I loved the day, love meeting all those that attended, loved the drive down and back too. And I hope to see some of you again in the future. There sure is a lot to this restoration process. ;-0 L.A. ~Tippecanoe County. Ps, a question came up about Emails to the list that were bouncing. Under your [Send and replay options] Be sure your to check your email settings for sending them as text only. Rootsweb dose not accept HTML email or photos to the lists. Or see it you can set them as replay to these with the same format. It is a pain I know. Just check your settings so your getting through. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Kreps" <mjkreps@gmail.com> To: <INPCRP-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, September 18, 2005 3:24 PM Subject: {not a subscriber} Re: [INPCRP]workshop > > Great informative workshop Sept. 17 at Friendship Cemetery in Johnson > > County.
