Well. another surprise spoiled.
The reason I didn't pipe up earlier is because Theo and I have been
communicating off list for the past week or two to get his issues of the
Montgomery Owner's Newsletter up on the MSOG. Theo sent me the pdf files,
but they are too large to read onscreen and large to download, being
11x17 (then folded in half). Theo is in the process of breaking them out
to single page size and will re-send them when he can.
I think I asked this a while back, but seem to have lost the info. Since
I joined the M-clan towards the end of the MON, someone who is more
familiar with the situation could contact the folks who published it
before Theo, it would be great to beg for the original digital files so
we don't have to go the scanning route. Any digital format would be
easier than scanning, and photos would be in color.
Theo's pretty sure they may not be available, but it would be worth the
effort to try to find the original files. If they aren't obtainable
digitally, someone can send me their back issues and I'll start scanning
them here at home.
Please let me know how it goes and we'll decide if/when to go the
scanning route.
