The DBS Formal was last night, and let me tell you it was an all-day event for those involved.  For some of those, it was months-long!  http://photoshow.comcast.net/watch/vV4DE2EF   That’s the address of the photo show I put together.  I’m pretty pleased, but I wish I could have used different music.  Here are some of the […]
