USS TUNNY (SSN 682)
Launching / Commissioning PHOTO OFFER
During my recent visit with Lola Aiken (she christened TUNNY!), I was able to borrow some photo albums from her. Since the TUNNY homepage is "all about sharing" - I was dying to scan the pictures and share them online. Now, I've got the scans (I quickly returned the originals to Lola). I made (3) negatives from Lola's prints - by selecting what I thought were the coolest pictures and a trip to a photo lab. Finally, now that I have the negatives, I can offer beautiful 8X10 glossy reprints, for anybody who wants one.

I scanned Lola's (50) photographs into .TIF images. It will take me some time to convert them into JPG, since there are so many of them. (My TIF scans use 365 Mbytes). I'll share these images as follows:

I am not trying to make money off this - the photos look OUTSTANDING, and I think everyone ought to own them. The cost is "my cost" and includes postage. My time is volunteered to share these great mementos from TUNNY. Yes indeed, these pictures are just another reason to love the TUNNY Homepage.
