Hi Irene ... You're right ..   I know we keep going on and on and on  but the quality of the scan is often the difference between a good and bad restore ..no offence intended to anyone  but believe me ...as restorers, our eyes really Light up when a high resolution scan comes along ...  It's like flippin Xmas!!
Here's mine    a larger version for printingis available if you want it ..pm me with your email address if you do as it's too big a file size to post on here ...I have compressed this file to get under the 500kbs ceiling  so it wont print as well. ::) :)
