This is a treasure, and wouldn&#8217;t it be nice to create an updated version (to supplement, not replace)?  So, here&#8217;s what we&#8217;ll do &#8211; on Old Home Day (or other times during Old Home Week), take pictures. Then, pick out up to five that you consider your best photos and send them to <a href="mailto:&#119;&#101;&#98;&#109;&#97;&#115;&#116;&#101;&#114;&#64;&#116;&#111;&#119;&#110;&#111;&#102;&#110;&#101;&#108;&#115;&#111;&#110;&#46;&#99;&#111;&#109;">&#119;&#101;&#98;&#109;&#97;&#115;&#116;&#101;&#114;&#64;&#116;&#111;&#119;&#110;&#111;&#102;&#110;&#101;&#108;&#115;&#111;&#110;&#46;&#99;&#111;&#109;</a>.  An impromptu committee will meet and pick out the best of the best, and make a new photo display (we&#8217;ll also create an online gallery on this web site).  Please keep your images in their original size so that they will retain their integrity when printed. Please either zip them or send them separately &#8211; so that no one attachment is over 10MB. You may provide captions if you want, and be sure to include your name for proper credit.</p>
