Hi Anita and all!

Thank you for your reply,

I would be most interested in the photos from Ayer's Village, as well as any other photos of the area.I would love to post as many photos on the site as I can to make it easy for everyone to view. I will also give credit to the ones who supply the photos on the site.

Best,
Janson
