More Requests sent - Scanning Progress

I sent out over 200 more request over the weekend to local wineries, chamber of commerce, and bed and breakfast. Hopefully that will help with the collection.

I've also been able to slowly start scanning again. Had to get a new printer/scanner. I will slowly but surely be adding my images to the page.

More Requests sent - NY

I sent 46 requests yesterday to New York state locations. Hopefully they will bring some luck, since I don't have any from NY yet.

More Requests sent

I've been rather busy between Thanksgiving (went to Disneyland for 4 1/2 days) and now Christmas season it's been rather slow.

I did manage to send out about 68 requests today to various places.

I hope to get all my scanning done over the Christmas shutdown (from Dec 25 - Jan 4) and maybe I'll finally find the time to set up my scanner instead of trying to do it at my brother's

Lost database

OMG - I lost (it's corrupted) the database (excel) that I was using to keep track of where I sent my requests. I hope I can recover it or what a nightmare.

More Requests sent

I sent more request yesterday to various Chambers of Commerce - 76 went to New Mexico and 41 went to Michigan. Hope to see some results soon.
