Very nice work, Gene. I see some Greene & Greene influence in your design
whose work I'm very fond of.Your kids will have an heirloom to be proud of for
generations.

I did, but the server is holding it for the moderator to clear as its not
quite 20k over the 360k size limit allowed. I smunched it down to a 20%
quality jpg, because I could see jpg'ing artifacts if I went any lower.
I'll try doing some cropping of some of the background in gimp. Or is
there now a more compact image compression format? Cropping an image in
gimp is the most frustrating thing I have ever tried, I have to ask for
help on the gimp-users list every time, so it still has white borders.
Damit, a crop should remove what you don't want, not fill it with white.
Anyway, new version 2 attached, smunched enough that jpg is showing some
artifacts.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
