Dear Richard,
         Thanks for looking at the photos or at least commenting.  I think 
that people are giving gold 200 a bum rap.  I have seen very large blow ups 
of my negatives of aerial photos which held together very well to almost 
mural size.  These were used at a public meeting and were far bigger than 
any thing I have ever done.  I am certain that the negatives were scanned 
to a much higher resolution than any of my PAWs have been.  I also believe 
that the gold 200 is certainly a better film than any available to HCB in 
the time of his greatest production.  You have to compare it to superXX etc 
and not ASA 10 Kodachrome.
Lee
