Mollie, thanks for the update. While we are anxious, I think it sounds like we are going to get a good product, that there has been good participation. To have hastily put it together and out would have been a bad thing, not in the best interest of the history that we hoped. Original estimates are often off, particularly when they deal with ground not traveled before. I can wait.

I know everyone is anxious, just as I am but you can not rush a project like this, with 1400 pictures it has to be huge.. I too believe it is worth the wait..
