JolyStNick,
So sorry to learn of your loss, both for the camera and the photos. I was so looking forward to seeing your photos. I was back in PA since last Thursday for a family event till returning to TN yesterday. Today I've been catching up on X Marks working my way back from threads since last Wednesday when we left.

Earlier today I read your post of your 9 hour trip up from FL and that you would post pics that night, didn't see any added to that thread and wondered why. I just got caught up to this post about 10 minutes ago and found out what happened.

I was lucky at Celebrate Santa, twice I left my camera and walked off without it. Once at a booth and later in a seminar room. Folks tracked me down and told me where it was. I hope the Fire Chief follows through for you.
