Good Evening All: We are finally home. We traveled 6,003 miles, saw some great layouts and some very pretty scenery. We got about half of the car unpacked and said "the heck with it we'll do it tomorrow". I find it hard to believe that while I was gone the coffee shop went from 111 pages to 130, I've got a lot of reading to do. I can't express enough appreation for the hospitality and great visits. I've gotten several ideas for solutions to some of my problems. I'm going to share them with all of ya'll and let the creater fill in the details. I've found out that when I do something I don't think of it as anything great or good and I don't understand why anyone else couldn't do it. I'm going to get each of the guys that I borrowed ideas from to put their two cents in and explain what they did and how they did it (if they will co-operate). Every layout that I saw had something that I can use in my layout, it was a very productive trip. It was interesting to put a face and body with the posts. Some are nothing like you expect. Jim is a precise person that takes some beautiful pictures. The ones that he was showing me, I thought were taken by a professional photographer until, he told me that he'd taken them. John and Tom are almost two peas in a pod as far as body sizes and degree of modeling dexteriety. They are both interested in getting it done exactly right and not being in a hurry. I could identify with Fergie as he has facial hair and I used to. It gives you an extra 15 minutes to sleep in the morning since you don't have to shave. Bill is laid back and I would liked to have had more time to talk to him as we were just getting started when I realized that I'd have to get on the road. Before I left, we did do a toast to LUPO. Paul: You're next, but we need to rest a little bit first. We thought about leaving here on a Sat morning and visiting Sat afternoon and then coming back to Buffalo for the night as I've got an aunt that lives there. Ed: How is the railroad coming along or is that in the pages that I haven't read yet? Noah: Where do you come to visit in Louisiana? I live on the east side of Texas so we are only about 4 1/2 hours from New Orleans, or 3 1/4 hours from Baton Rouge. We are about 4 hours from Shreveport so I don't see why we couldn't arrange a visit the next time you and your family come to LA. Ed is coming to see me the next time he comes to Houston. (Did you read that Ed?) Well I'm going to bed and get ready for work tomorrow. Ya'll have a blessed day and remember SANTA FE ALL THE WAY Bob
