Touché, Willie -
You're right (for once . . . ) For a while I was waiting on a friend to send the last four or five shots to complete a set of 92 (or maybe 97) to raise funds for the restoration of a K-37. Then I waited while more of Ernie Robart's shots from 1970 became available. Then I spent most of 2010 helping to organize two commemorative excursions on the C&TS. Then I had some medical challenges. And then I got a new scanner, WAY sharper than the previous one, so I felt obligated to start over, at least with my own pics, and do the best job I could ...
I have finally finished re-scanning three dozen slides of the last D&RGW n.g. revenue freights in 1968 and sending the originals and copies of the scans off to be safely archived, so – once I'm done preparing my tax returns – I'm hoping to start sorting through and re-scanning some of my photos from 1970-75 in a couple of weeks, and add them to what I already have from other photographers and finally "Git 'er Done!" But, based on previous experience, don't hold your breath . . .

p.s. About the only positive thing I can say about the ten-year delay is that it's allowed several of my NGDF acquaintances to become old enough to now meet the age requirement – at least – for induction into the Fraternal Union of Curmudgeonly Geezers (old FUCGers).
