I was thinking the same thing Jack, or even a video camera that allows for "still's" Cuz B ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jack Wynn" <jwynn@mindspring.com> To: <WINN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, October 28, 2003 4:52 PM Subject: Re: [WINN] Portrait of Richard Winn > Any visitor would do better taking a digital picture of the portrait. > > Jack Wynn

A digital photo would be better than what I have but not nearly the "best" that I expect for archiving. As a photoshop expert, I'm volunteering to work on this portrait if I can get a good 300 dpi scan (can be overlapping) in full color. I can get the most out of it that can be gotten but need the detailed scan to make it worth my trouble. I would share copies with anyone interested and keep a copy on the web. Randy C. Smart

Dear Randy, I don't live in that direction or I would help you out, maybe one of the cuz's will volunteer to go by and get one for you. I wanted to thank you for sharing the picture that you did find, with out it we would not know about it at all. I wish more on the list would share their "finds". Should their "finds" be a census, a letter, a bible, a picture etc... every thing we put on this list is archived for others to find, that is how we "find" each other. Also I have a website that is majority Wynn's [mainly my line, but has all spellings] and I have photo's on there also. Some are people, some are tombstones. Del C., and Leo are great ones to share tombstones with me. I am getting ready to split the pictures to have my line and then have the rest so it is easier for people to get to the people they are interested in. Should any one have pictures they wish to share send them my way. Again just wanted to thank you for sharing, that was sure sweet of you.
