Scanning Some Old Memories

I borrowed my friend Eddy's scanner to try scanning my old Operation Raleigh Expedition 11f slides from the Torres Strait to see how it worked.  The slides are in pretty bad shape as they all drowned in the flood of 97 in Reno.  Here is one I pulled at random to test.  I think thats Dr. Neil on the left, next to Claire from the UK.  The next one is killing me, because I cannot remember her name.  I do remember she was a vegetarian from Seattle if memory serves.  The dork on the right in the Short Shorts is me.  We were all pretty dirty after a days work.  The tank behind us is a water collection tank.

I plan on purchasing the scanner and scanning the rest of my photos.  I also spent some time tonight looking for those on the expedition with me.  I found Mark Walsingham online.  Recognized his face immediately, even after all these years. Looks like he has become quite the fisherman.  I was kinda sad because I couldn't find his contact info.  I owe him another apology for splitting his forehead underwater with a rock.  Another story for another day.
