Diane passed around samples of photos that had been brought to the library that demonstrated all these problems. She also showed the special care and work that the library does to preserve the photos brought into them for archival storage. Even though the special collections department may not want all of the 200 pictures of Aunt Phoebe that are mildewed and faded, they might want a few special shots that show a special costume of the period or a background of a building that no longer exists. And all is not completely lost for some damaged photos can be salvaged and restored. And who knows, Aunt Phoebe may even wind up on the Internet.

Those traveling from the Valley of the Sun were told tire chains were required to get up the hill to Flagstaff. A great deal of planning went into this year's service and hike. The Carmony family was to conduct the communion service and remind us that Jesus Christ died for our sins. The Lucas's were to be the song leaders. Amazing Grace never sounds better than when the words are bouncing off the Bass Canyon walls.
