I have been to all but a few board meetings over the last 6 + years. I have never heard of a person stepping up to take on this project other than the people currently involved, and I have not heard of a board member who knew someone who wanted to be the artist. Everyone involved has donated hundreds of hours of time and I am sure there are hundreds of hours still needed to complete the project. I also know a little about photography even though I am not a photographer. I never heard of "funny" and I do not mean to criticize his or her photos, but it usually takes hundreds of pictures to get a few good ones. And, just because someone sent in photos, it does not mean they could be used. The illustrated standard is a work in progress.
