Mark, It wasn't the PUG that was tarting up photos. My recollection is that it was an Indonesian or Phillipino M.D. who wanted to start a magazine (?). I hadn't seen the PUG, but thought the idea of photos for the pdml was good. I think this was just before you took over the PUG. When I saw that I

Thank you so much for doing this, Brian. It is really wonderful being able to look at the early galleries. It was great seeing the work of some of the PUGsters who are no longer participating on the list. There are a lot of familiar names I haven't seen in years. I was not a member of the group
