If anyone has personal or group pictures that they would want to share with visitors to the web page, please scan them and e-mail them to me or mail them to me with a self-addressed stamped envelope if you want them back. The only stipulation is that they have something to do with Glassporters or former Glassporters. Old pictures of Glassport and Glassporters are also wanted.
