I (Mike M) have posted all the electronic versions of the BIOs from the 35th anniversary celebration. Thanks to Diane Dinsmoor Morgan we now have all the submitted articles available. She is a gem and typed up all the paper copy articles. . Big thanks to Diane.

I have now updated each of the autobiographies or biographies with a picture. I would still like to get a current picture of each of you. Diane just took a picture with a digital camera and sent it to me. That works or so does a printed copy of a picture. The pictures that are posted are just a scanned copy of our printed passport pictures. I think they turned out okay. If I could just fix how dramatic my picture is it would be great. Anyway it would be nice to get a recent picture of everyone too. I think it would be great to have a then and now pictures in each bio. If you can help here that would be great. Diane also suggested that we have a family picture for each of us. That would be nice. An example is posted from my family.

As with all things I have tried to do my best. If there are mistakes they are the mistakes of a sincere man. Let me know if you find anything that needs updating.

Thanks for all the work that went into the preparation of your individual bio's and to Diane for collecting them in the first place.

TWO final notes here:

I would like to make this a living document. If you would send me updates or pictures when ever and I will see that they are posted. When you send me a family picture it would be nice to have an approximate date the picture was taken. Year and month if you can remember but if not year works great. This living document will only be as good as those willing to share so I hope many of you will not be bashful and share with the rest of us. I can also help with the scanning of the pictures, if needed. Just send me the printed picture or slide and I will see that it is included and then returned to you. Thanks in advance for sharing.

If you have a personal or family web site then let me know and I will add the link here on the side panel. I have included a link to mine as an example. Thought it would also be fun to add links to some of our entrepreneurs. My advanced investigative skills have yielded some of the business links for members of the group. It there are others please share them with me/us. As I have done with the current business web sites, I will title the links with the name of the group member and then their business name. Just another thought and thanks again for sharing.

Still waiting for the flood of FAMILY pictures. . . don't have nearly enough to consider the family picture task accomplished. And all you camera shy individuals need to yield up the current photo too. No need to be embarrassed. Thanks for your help.

I am currently wondering if anyone has an electronic version of our trip history? I can always take a printed page and turn it into digital form but if it is already there it would save me some time. Just checking so let me know if someone has this. Other things that would be fun would be our itinerary and pre trip documents. Are any of you better pack rats than I am. Thanks again for any help that can be offered.
