Title: Lindsborg, Kansas Copy Run
Post by: Mhayes on September 11, 2013, 01:28:47 AM
Hi Everyone,

I'm kind of running behind schedule, but hope within the next couple of days to post more about the copy run to Lindsborg, KS. This was something of a mini-run and was done for one day only. Despite a limited showing I was able to come back with 196 photos. More in the coming days.

Thanks,

Margie

I'm sure the folks who brought in photos were delighted to have this opportunity. Thank you Margie! Looking forward to seeing their photos.

Hi Everyone,

Sorry to be so late in getting this out. Plus I just love posting and hitting a key and all is lost which includes photos and text that I was having problems loading to start---makes my day NOT! Also, having a lot of trouble with Photobucket and the ability to click to copy.  :mad:

Thanks for posting the photos Margie. It helps us feel connected to the people we'll be restoring photos for.
