They do a great job. For film or prints that are already developed, such as old family photos, I use digmypics.com in Gilbert, Arizona for scanning. They also do a great job. I have an Epson Perfection V850, which is a wonderful print scanner, but it's slow and takes a lot of desk space.

I got a phone call from V. Roger Rubin, a LUG lurker and reliable yearbook contributor, who said he had talked to John Lee's daughter, who told him that John had died in September. Because it was a phone call and not an email I can't refer back to it for more detail, but the sad news does appear to be true.
