Hoppy,

Thanks for looking.  I probably should have reduced the size of the image 
that I sent to the Gallery, so that the shortcomings of the lab scan would 
not be noticed.  I produce so few film images each year that a negative 
scanner is not warranted.  In my scheme of things, the lab scans, with their 
shortcomings, are the best answer.
