Well, you deserve it Kathleen! Congratulations on your first place win! Wonderful -K #714102Stephen H. White August 16, 2004
Congratulations Kathleen! This is a well deserved 1st place win.It's funny, I was thinking of one of your photos a couple of weeks ago when I was in Ohio traveling to Delaware. I went by Cuyahoga Valley and was wishing I had time to check it out. I like the shot of the conductor that you took. Next time I'm there, I hope I can stop.
Way to go on your win! #715031

Thank you so much, everyone for your comments on my "Independent Sam" photo. I don't get to see little Sam very often since he lives in the Pacific Northwest. However, he'll be coming to Cleveland for a visit in a few weeks, and I can't wait. Thanks again for taking the time to comment on my photo. #754950Anette Linnea Rasmussen February 06, 2005
