Thanks, George, and others.  This method is simple enough for even me to
use but I can now see I will ultimately have to bring these images into LR
so I can keyword them, or at least so I can rename the folders.

Or maybe I'll rename the folders before I bring them into LR.

I can't believe I've got this many images in this many folders with no way
of telling what is where.  What was I thinking?

I guess I wasn't.
