So how many of you already know about Don's latest and greatest project?
He tells me several M&Mers were in on it?
How lucky am I to have such a great friend?
He came to visit me on Monday and with him he brought me a very cool gift for my new garage.

It's a M&M family portrait. Has photos from the M&M gallery of sixty of Fords most fabulous creations owned by M&Mers.
Across the top is the M&M Logo and at the bottom it says "Family Pictures." Each individual car picture is labeled with you all's forum name and real identity.
The poster measures approximately 3'x4'.
Today I'm taking it in to be sealed or laminated so the colors don't fade or run and then matted and framed.

I'll have a forever reminder of all my good friends here at M&M.

It's kinda funny, I must have been on the same wave length as Don when I made my own little collage that I posted here earlier in the week. I had no idea he was working on such a project. Very

THANKS DON!!

You shouldn't put yourself out there like that. LOL

Joyce,

That poster could not have been made for a more deserving person... I truly believe you & Mike are the BEST...

As far as extra copies, I am going to have to go to a copy center and see what it would cost to do reproductions...

I did a downsized one today that is about 2'x 3' and it is about the right size for the house, den, or garage...

What I would really like to see if we can make copies and sell them to members, so that the money can go to Steve to help support M&M...

OK, Here is the latest & Greastestest...

I am going to check with some printers around this area to see what price I can have posters printed... I have reduced the size to about 2' x 3' and it looks great...

If any member of M&M is a printer and would like the job, I could send the original file on a ZIP disk. Let me know.

I am pretty busy this week, so I can't promise when it will be done...
