Hi Tina,

First off let me say how much that shot of the father and 2 girls 
saying Grace moved me. VERY nicely done.
 Your system involves cutting negatives apart and hanging them in 
slide sheets? I use a Canon FS4000 film scanner so I wouldn't be able 
to scan them in the sheets. Would you mind contacting me off list and 
explaining in some detail how your system works? Thanks again for 
your response.

Tim
