To the "Web-Master." I sent my scrapbook photo, then up came a message saying that the "web-page" can not be found. I re-sent the photo and to my surprise, it's there twice. ($##@#). Is it possible for you to delete one of the photos? Would anyone like to see more digital images of my model? If so, email me and/or I could post them to this site?
