Webmaster's note:

The reunion in St. Louis is over and was a huge success. To those hundreds of people who took time to seek me out and talk to me, I say thank you and that the pleasure was, indeed, all mine. To all of those that thanked me for my work here, all I can say is that the thanks goes to all of those Tough Ombes that made it possible for me to be here to do this work for them - and you.

I came away from the reunion with literally hundreds of new friends and got to renew friendships with many, many more.

The honor that you bestowed upon me literally left me speechless - I feel I am not worthy of your praise. Sharing the Denby Steel award with such a great guy as Norm Richards truly humbles me.

Over the next few days and weeks, I will be placing a hundred or more photos of the people and events that took place in St. Louis. I was literally inundated with new and exciting material while there and have the promise of much more to come to make this site even more interesting.

I am currently about 200 photos behind, in addition to that which I received in St. Louis. Please bear with me as I attempt to catch up - if I ever can !!!

I will post reunion events first and then start working with the recent submissions.

Please be patient as I progress. If you don't see your material, please know that it will appear as soon as possible.

Again, thanks so much for all of your kind comments and your friendships.  I look forward to making this site more and more interesting for you, the Tough Ombres and their families.
