It's fabulous! I can't imagine that it could be any better. It's so great to see all of those wonderful photos gathered in one fantastic, hardcover, image-wrapped Blurb book. I am thinking about ordering some more soft cover ones for friends and family and probably will. Thanks to everybody who contributed, but special thanks to Geoff who made it all possible and to Ted for whom we all continue to strive to show how much we have learned!
