RE: Sandy's new camera
Judy, I think the picture is the same as Sandy mentioned earlier, so if you look at the background, there is a round picture made by Sam Wang, and Sandy said that was him. It is small though. I don't know if you can recognize him. He looked different from the picture in PF Journal. I still couldn't find my journals after moving though I have a rough idea where they are. If I remember correctly, Sandy was bearded in that picture. Here he has a different look.
