I think pictures can be too big and I read about this
somewhere and have experienced it. If a very large
picture is forced down to, say a thumbnail as would
be along side a name, it becomes wavy and indistinct
since Legacy has now way, of which I am aware, to
scale them down.

language. I am glad someone has taken him under wing
for help.
I was very disappointed with the statement from a
member of Legacy's team. This is out of character. I
guess anyone can have a bad

always have an Event which would follow that line.
