As before I will have a scanner and printer at the reunions and I will try to scan any items you may have to share and print as many items as I can. I am interested in class pictures, work pictures, building pictures, family group pictures, anything that has lists of names (school or work), newspaper clippings about Igloo, basically anything that you think someone else would be interested in seeing. If you cannot make it to the reunion you can scan it or have it scanned or copied and sent to me on a disc or whatever else will work.
