Hi Everyone,

I know I have depressed you all with the idea of closing shop, but if there's a current need, and we will. Hop holpefully our hard core volunteers are still up for the challenge.

I got an email today of woman whose photos were damaged in a fire. My first thoughts were they can't be restored. So I asked the woman with the non-profit who was helping her to send me some samples as to what they looked like. All of the ones she sent could be restored.

Stay tuned.

Just happened to check the site today and saw this! I'll be checking back for that batch once it's available.

Will be glad when I can tell all of you that there are pictures in the gallery. Right now the owner is planning on going to her house and seeing what pictures to have copied.

Stay Tuned.

I'm a bit late to all this (and still a bit in shock after reading Margie's July post) but I am absolutely ready to work on restores if the owner can get damaged pictures to us.

Well I thought that we would be hearing back from this person as she wanted to go through the damaged photos, but so far I have heard nothing back. At this point it is like have permission paperwork signed and taking it to FedEx or any printing place to have the photos scanned is too much work. I have only had 1 person who has done this. I'm afraid at this point I'm not a fan of waiting for cob webs to from around my computer waiting for a reply.
