Jenny Loveridge, Yearbook Editor

She's done it again, folks.  Jenny has put out a marvelous work of art that reflects not only hundreds of hours of work but a keen eye and steady hand for all the photography and editing.  I wouldn't want to guess the cost of this book but in any case this is one of those Christmas presents that is truly priceless because it can not be duplicated by anyone else in the world.  And it wouldn't mean as much to anyone else in the world as to Gavin's and Colin's grandparents.  The following pictures don't do the album justice but hopefully they will give you a hint at what it is like.

It is difficult to describe the book.  It is a 10 pound, 1 square foot, 357 page photo album.  Except that it is better than most do it yourself photo albums since all the pictures are professionally printed on fine quality paper and bound securely by professional book binders.  This book is meant to last.

Jenny is a no-nonsense editor, preferring to put the humor, art, and playfulness in her pictures rather than around them.  Although there are many pages with no white space, there are enough with white space that you don't get claustrophobic.  Likewise, the captions tend to be sparse but sufficient.  In short, the book looks like a first-class college level year book.

If you visit us, you may SEE the book but don't let me SHOW you the book as you'll then be here for hours.  Thanks again, Jenny and Philip.
