TO
THE CO-COMMISSIONERS:
In order to have this page load in less than three or four hours, I have had to resample your pics (i.e., make them smaller in KB) -- this has resulted in images that are not as high quality as the originals -- like my own blurry mugshot here. So, apologies to those of you who appear somewhat out-of-focus or look like you need to see a dermatologist.... For those of you who have not sent me a pic but would like to be immortalized on this page, please email me a jpeg, bitmap, or gif image, or point me in the direction of a website where I can find one. - composer James Grant
