Update for October 2, 2006
I spoke with Kathleen again, and she gave me new information about the photographs. The photographer got the photographs back, the second time, and is prepared to send them out again.
Several events have contributed to the long delay. The initial delay was due to complications following the birth of his new child. I do not know all the details, but the condition was serious and required his attentiveness. I am sure can all appreciate the importance of putting family first, and even now, they may benefit from your prayers and/or postive thoughts.
The additional delay came because as Chris prepared to send out the photographs a few weeks ago, he noticed the entire batch of prints were of less than satisfactory quality. So he resubmitted them to the lab to correct their mistake. The bottom line is that this was never forgotten, and was only delayed due to unforeseeable circumstances. The better way to be is to adopt a charitable attitude and be happy when the photographs do come in the mail soon.
Thank you all for your patience, and for your understanding.

Several people have written asking about the group photo from the reunion. We have an official answer now from Kathleen Griffinl. She posted her reply to this question in the Family Forum. I am reposting it now for the benefit of those of you who have not yet joined the forum.

The delay of receiving the photos was partially because Joe [Clarkson] and I did not correct some errors in identification as soon as we should and then, Chris [the photographer] became the proud father of a little baby girl named Megan and took some time off.
However, I talked with Chris last week and he was to have mailed the photos the next day. I will email him this weekend and see what's happening.
There is no additional charge for the photograph; the cost was included as part of your registration.
