A few words about pictures and the webWalter DukePlanned, Coordinated and Executed the Alexandria Va. Reunion, 10/6 & 7/2005
in an outstanding manner (ON TARGET -- ON TIME).He has also accomplished a major feat by establishing a data base of Babenhausen Veterans.Lars Hagen -- Unofficial and novice webmeister
Due to internet absuses it would be best not to publish his listing on an open site like this.He has distributed an 8 page excel spreadsheet to all who had available email addresses.
Please contact him directly for updates and copies:

The response to the request for CD's of pictures taken at the reunion has been
like drinking from a fire hose. It also has pointed out the need for a better format.
I have not tried to consolidate the pictures yet. That's a future to do.Would like more pictures to fill out each section of this web log, I'm sure folks
have stuff saved away that we all would like to enjoy. This may involve having
prints scanned and a CD made. Most 1-hour photo places can do that.
Please ID who,what, where and when they were taken if possible.
Long file name are OK, but no blank spaces.Please send (low volume, reasonable size) pictures to:
lbhagen@charter.net
If you're going to FIRE FOR EFFECT please use CD's and snail-mail:

Many digital pictures I received are very large file sizes. Some are over two million bytes.
Many of the pictures are outstanding quality, clarity and detail!
In order to limit the time it takes to upload and download these pictures to/from the web
and to limit the space they comsume on the web server where they are stored it is necessary
to rotate, crop and resize and compress these files. The result is that the pictures
appear to be taken from farther away. Also, the picture quality is OK on a computer
display BUT the quality of hardcopy prints is NOT OK.If folks want to make prints of any of the pictures it will be necessary to get copies of the
original large files. Please contact the author of the pictures if known and if that doesn't
work send me an email and I'll try to help.To get copies of the computer-display-quality pictures just do a "right click" and "save as"
and the picture you're looking at will be saved to your hard-drive.
ENJOY!
