Re: Contemporary Views

[Jill Bonino <aistreas@earthlink.net>]

Being relatively new, this is the first time I have seen Perry's Contemporary Views...WOW.  I copied it and I hope to study it again several times before OKC to help with judging...This would also make a great slide program to help people learn to judge if pictures could be obtained...

Are there back copies of previous issues published anywhere that I can get ahold of?
