I sent the Hillary issues photos a couple of weeks ago, and will scan the Scenes issue via Bill.

I expect the next issue will be a Chinese New Year early in the New Year, details to follow when known.

PLEASE USE THIS FORUM TO PASS ON INFORMATION, FORUMS ARE A VERY USEFUL TOOL.

Happy Christmas and Healthy New Year
